maridvnvm Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2100 Posts	Posted 07/04/2013 2:57 pm I will let someone else guess the emperor as I am sure you are all fed up with me in this thread. I will guess that the reverse is CAESARVM NOSTRORVM and the coin id from Lugdunum however.... Martin Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 07/04/2013 3:21 pm It's still Chris's turn so you can guess. I don't know how you did it but you are 100% correct on the reverse and mint. Report this Post to the Staff
ThisIsFun Pillar of the Community United States 2480 Posts	Posted 07/04/2013 3:26 pm Nooooo, Martin! Go ahead and guess, that way we can see more of your fabulous coins. With Martin's hint, I'll go with Crispus. Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 07/04/2013 5:57 pm It is Crispus, one of my first cleaning attempts when I first started collecting ancients. I destroyed an otherwise nice coin. Go ahead TIS fun, looks like Chris is out for the day. Report this Post to the Staff
ThisIsFun Pillar of the Community United States 2480 Posts	Posted 07/04/2013 6:11 pm I overcleaned one of my dirty Byzantines. There weren't any features to see anyway and someone had already harshly cleaned it. Deciding it was pretty much trashed anyway, tried heating it just for grins. Wow-- it created a fantastic rainbow patina. Still not worth anything but I like it. Not going to do that again though, at least not to any coins which have any details remaining. Next up, found on the internet: Report this Post to the Staff
