[QUOTE="ValiantKnight, post: 2785816, member: 44210"]Thanks for the additional comments and great cleaning job guys! I'm glad to see a discussion come about in my thread. I'm sure some of us have learned something new with regards to cleaning (I definitely have). Eight-hundred years after my Tiberius denarius, we have my Carolingian denier, the one I referred to earlier in the thread. Lemon juice took off a lot of the hard crud within like 10 minutes, which greatly impressed me. Finished what remained over a couple of days. Its pretty gnarly, but its a rare Venice-mint issue, struck by the nominally independent republic (it was under Frankish influence at the time).
