Ancient Turkey New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 08/15/2020 02:37 am This has to be one of my best cleanups of all time. The grime was so compacted on this one it took almost 8 months in olive oil, a wash in lye, and a harsh tooth picking to get this coin to reveal itself. Overall I am very proud with the results. Before: After months of cleaning: Maurice Tiberius Æ Half follis 582-602 Ad SB 497 It looks like a completely different coin honestly. There were parts of the rim that chipped off and I had to find down that were flaking but everything else is original. What do you guys think? Report this Post to the Staff
