VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 04/16/2012 2:26 pm My first coin of this emperor. Not too much detail left but legends are there and is a decent enough example of him for my collection. You can try your hand at attributing if you'd like. Report this Post to the Staff

pennysaver Pillar of the Community Canada 937 Posts	Posted 04/16/2012 5:56 pm Yep, a nice coin, Valiant! Valerian in nice shape is always good to have. Though I agree with echizento in theory, I'd still be cautious with the cleaning. A lot of those billion coins didn't have a lot of silver content, so they don't really have a chance to come up too bright. Myself, I wouldn't clean it at all, but if you do, a little olive oil and a soft toothbrush is all you need. Report this Post to the Staff
VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 04/16/2012 6:17 pm The mediocre lighting makes it seem a little dirty, but it is already cleaned down to the bare surface in most places. The coin is greyer in hand. Thanks for your comments! Report this Post to the Staff
jessvc1 Pillar of the Community United States 2596 Posts	Posted 04/16/2012 9:40 pm This coin doesn't look bad at all. With all the cleaning I've done with some of my coins I kind of actually prefer them to have "real" look to them instead of a cleaned up coin. It helps to clean up a coin sometimes but this has everything you need to see like the legend already legible. Another Nice buy ValiantKnight. Report this Post to the Staff
