<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mikjo0, post: 116139, member: 3565&quot;]I wouldn&#039;t clean them unless they have loose dirt on them and then only with water and mild detergent.The dark patina that they have acheived will only enhance their value but if you clean any of it off,you will reduce it by a substantial amount.You can also soak them in olive oil for a few days without doing any ill effects.This apparently does no harm to the patina but will clean off any loose stuff that has accumulated in the cracks.</p><p>If you live anywhere near a dealer who sell ancient coins,I would take them in for authentification since there are a LOT of fakes and reproductions out there.There may also be someone on this forum that can help out with thist since I am far from an expert.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
