dvw1974 Valued Member United Kingdom 74 Posts	Posted 12/18/2014 04:23 am Hi - I am posting a few coin identification topics - Hope that is ok? Recently bought a coin lot with a number of what seems to be ancient coins. My expertise lies with British coins from about 1500's onwards, so need some help with identification if possible. The below coin weighs 6.7g and measures 26mm across The below coin weighs 5.1g and measures 17mm across * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Moved to the Ancient coin section Report this Post to the Staff

dvw1974 Valued Member United Kingdom 74 Posts	Posted 12/19/2014 06:04 am Thank you "Echizento" - I will ensure next time I post them properly. I am hesitant to clean up the coins as I do not want to ruin them. What is the best way to clean. I might add, to explain my amateurish questions - This is my first foray into ancient coins.....

MetDet71 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1570 Posts	Posted 12/19/2014 06:39 am Methods vary from the bucket method, d.water, olive oil, picking with a scalpel, a brass brush. I personally like to clean them after a soak using a pick. You will never soar like an eagle if you hang around with turkeys..... Report this Post to the Staff
