I won this lovely Valentinian I GLORIA ROMANORVM AE-3 from the Siscia mint on ebay for $18.00.

The auction photos showed a high grade coin with nice green patina along with some dirt embedded on the obverse designs. A couple of drops of Verdi-Care took care of the dirt and left me with this great looking coin.

I was going to try and resell it but think this one is going in my collection.

I can see why you'd opt to keep this one. A beauty. Well done.

Very nice looking coin Paul!
Love the big eyed portrait, such simple lines giving so much detail! The reverse captive looks almost female with the captures hand making it look as if she has her hair in a bun!
Cool coin!
