R-Dawkins Valued Member South Africa 105 Posts	Posted 05/01/2012 06:51 am Hi, there is a seller selling a bunch of these joblots of ancients... here is one.. my question is : are these the final state of the coins or can they be cleaned further to reveal more detail? Report this Post to the Staff

The two coins on the left are missing patches of their patina and the bottom coin is missing it altogether. The remaining two do still have their patina but look like they were in poor condition when they were 'lost' to the ground. Unfortunately I don't think you could improve them much.

giano Valued Member 279 Posts	Posted 05/01/2012 07:46 am Hi these coins are really in a very bad state of preservation,there's nothing to reveal as details,it's even difficult recognize them. In my opinion don't buy them. Report this Post to the Staff
jessvc1 Pillar of the Community United States 2596 Posts	Posted 05/01/2012 08:36 am I agree these are pretty much the condition that I've been getting in uncleaned lots lately and there is not much you can do with these coins. The bottom left shows some legend but the rest are worn flat or corroded so you prob won't be able to pull much more details out.I would say pass on this lot. Report this Post to the Staff
