JWJ New Member United States 41 Posts	Posted 07/03/2022 1:46 pm Hi, Hoping you can help with identification. I have a number of uncleaned coins I'm working through. As a follow up, I'm looking for advice as to whether I should continue cleaning this coin more. Trying not to over clean. Report this Post to the Staff

louisvillekyshop CCF Advertiser United States 1101 Posts	Posted 07/03/2022 3:32 pm With a coin with sharp Latin letters like this one you can just type in dnvalentini in a place like acsearch.com and you will get the emperor. Pretty quickly a coin like this pops up: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=8248892 Report this Post to the Staff

There are of course two schools of thought regarding hte cleaning up of ancient coins. Preservationists would say you should only clean a coin until you can fully identify it - then stop. Restorationists would try to bring the coin into as close as possible to its original coin-like condition, removing all extraneous dirt and corrosion. Many collectors lean towards Restorationism. This coin is certainly fully identifiable, so it does not "need further cleaning" from a Preservationist viewpoint. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
JWJ New Member United States 41 Posts	Posted 07/03/2022 9:32 pm Thanks Sap. Makes sense. For now, I think I'll go the preservationist route, and stop here for the sake of being cautious. I guess they can always be cleaned/restored further in the future if decided. Report this Post to the Staff
