They had a huge variety of stuff & I found several small baggies of uncleaned coins in a tupperware container buried at the bottom of a box of military war games. There were around 200 coins in all. I paid $20 for the lot & split it with a friend of mine that collects coins. Most of the coins are crusty discs but some looked reasonably clean. Neither of us knows anything about ancients so we split the lot based on condition. These are 4 of my better condition coins. Report this Post to the Staff

trdhrdr007 Pillar of the Community United States 2335 Posts	Posted 06/04/2022 08:41 am Other than rinse off the better looking coins & soaking the crusty discs in distilled water I haven't done anything with these. Are these candidates for further cleaning or leave as is? Can anyone recommend a link for how to handle cleaning the crusty discs? Report this Post to the Staff
