<p>[QUOTE="ValiantKnight, post: 2783879, member: 44210"]Decided to try and work on this Tiberius tribute penny, since to me it looked like it had a chance at looking decent with probably good details underneath. Seems like my gamble paid off. Started with water and soap for day 1, then moved to lemon juice and picking off chunks/rubbing off dirt for a few days, then lastly I used an annomia-water mix which really did a number on the gunk, which up to that point was mostly gone on the obverse but mostly still stubbornly there on the reverse. Overnight of the ammonia-water and some cotton swab rubbing got the denarius to where it is at now. It has a couple of spots of gunk left that I want to take care of so I will put it back into the mix soon.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]644767[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]644768[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Please post any coins you've cleaned, any coin cleaning stories, and/or your Tiberius coins![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
