Hi guys, So about 10 months ago I bought some ancient uncleaned coins off the bay. Well when I got them i was a tad surprised just how tiny they where. Some smaller then a dime none bigger then a quarter and all pretty thin. They where just tiny little slabs of metal and dirt, I honestly wondered if they where really coins. I couldnt make a single one out to be a coin. Well I did what many people suggested and soak them in olive oil. I basically just put them all in a little cup covered them in olive oil and kinda forgot about them for the past 10 months. Today i decided to pull em out and see what they looked like. And while they are no MS65 they are slowly starting to resemble coins . Are any of these identifiable yet? Should I just go put them in olive oil for another year or should I do something else? All advice is welcome
These may not get any better than what you have now. I have a few that I've tried to clean for a couple of years and they're now sitting in my junk pile.
this one looks like it may be a FEL TEMP from constantius ii... possibly... i could be very wrong on my guess.
