<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ardatirion, post: 1227921, member: 9204&quot;]This is utterly untrue when it comes to ancient coins. When a coin is caked with centuries of dirt, it is not only acceptable, but necessary to clean it. Furthermore, neither coin is corroded - there is a thick encrustation on the bottom one, though. This one actually needs more cleaning, but I will leave it to another to advise on that. If you&#039;re not familiar with ancient coins it is best to not give advice on them. </p><p><br /></p><p>The top is a coin of Valens, the bottom is not yet clear, but certainly a coin of Valentinian or his contemporaries.</p><p><br /></p><p>Numismania - I know that&#039;s Don Rickles, but is the quote from Dirty Work?
