brenpickle Pillar of the Community United States 836 Posts	Posted 11/06/2016 6:23 pm Can we get a photo of the other side? That is victory holding wreath facing left, but many emperors issued this type. Safely the mint mark is below victory where the metal has chipped away. Looks to be Gloria Romanorvm reverse Edited by brenpickle 11/06/2016 6:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff
hanna1988 New Member Lebanon 11 Posts	Posted 11/06/2016 6:24 pm sadly it is still completely covered , will try to clean it later after I know how , and it would be helpful if someone gave me proper tips on cleaning without ruining what's under the dirt Report this Post to the Staff

brenpickle Pillar of the Community United States 836 Posts	Posted 11/06/2016 6:33 pm Never have heard of using that. Other choices are hydrogen peroxide and olive oil, but once you do olive oil you can't do distilled water. That is why I start with the water. Report this Post to the Staff

Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 11/07/2016 1:47 pm From what I can see it's a SECVRITAS REIPVBLICAE AE-3 of most likely Valentinian I, Valens or Gratian. I can't tell what the mint is. Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff
