I just started my official collection with this coin, I love it and am sooo excited. Do you guys and girls think I should attempt any cleaning of this coin? I'm going to be getting a cleaning set anyways as I have a pile of old coins here to practice on that someone in the pub gave me lol. Where I live is a roman city so roman coins are fairly common finds around here. Martin Report this Post to the Staff

If it was mine, I would store it in a 2x2 for safe-keeping and easy identification.
