Yep, it arrived. So many barbarous coins, I'm in awe! Theres one particularly celtic looking FEL TEMP as well. The sole female coin is of Helena, I'm reckoning its barbarous as well, but its well rendered.

The surprise? There's 55 coins here, not 50!

Quick overveiw of a pile of 49 of the coins, minus the ones for special treatment:

A-New-Uncleaned-Lot---Many-Many-Barbs,-And-A-Surprise

The nicest barb before cleaning the rest (they're nearly all barbs):
A-New-Uncleaned-Lot---Many-Many-Barbs,-And-A-Surprise

Suprisingly, a lot of nice coins in there. quite a few require no more than a quick wash in distilled water - some I've withdrawn due to frailty. Ill do a follow up post in a bit once they've been dried fully and waxed if necessary.

Trouble with image sites. Oh well. This is shaping up to have a lot of nice coins, many mulched coins, but they are all cleaning up very quickly. Which is annoying, I want to take up time here!

Got a lot of nice coins. A lot of CONSTANTINOPOLIS, a lot of FEL TEMP horsemen (one is inverted, very cool), only 2 radiates. The best so far has to be the 8mm barbarous VRBS ROMA.

Chris...a little birdy tells me theres a large amount of them for offer from a certain forum member!

This is turning into a dull lot cleaning wise, its already basically done except the Helena, a couple of nice ones and a whole pile of junkers. But the cions I'm getting out of it are great.
