<p>[QUOTE=&quot;non_cents, post: 1706542, member: 30970&quot;]Hi folks. :smile</p><p>I&#039;ve recently developed an interest in ancient coins, and I have a few questions. I won a recent auction for 10 uncleaned Roman coins and paid $15 shipped. Did I get a good deal? I have been slowly cleaning them, using a process of letting them sit in olive oil for 8-12 hours before gently brushing them with a toothbrush, and then soaking them in oil a little bit longer if there is still dirt that can be removed. Is this a good method?</p><p>I am looking for either a website or book that has a large database for ancient coin identification. Any recommendations?</p><p>The last question is regarding the posted coin. It was one that I cleaned off (it was caked with dirt), and is one of my favorites so far because of the reverse design. I can make out the letters CONSI_ Any info on it?</p><p>Thanks,</p><p><br /></p><p>Simon[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
