walrus New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 09/14/2010 11:01 pm Received my 6 coin lot last week and thought I'd post one. Five of the coins showed detail after the initial wash,but number six looks like it will be lounging in the oil for some time. Anyway,here's the one I like best and hope will continue to improve. Only using distiled water and an occasional light brushing. . . . Guess it's too early to try to ID? Ken Report this Post to the Staff

walrus New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 09/15/2010 7:43 pm echizento, Thanks for the ID,will do a search and find out what I can about him. All coins are now resting comfortably in olive oil. ..... Tim, These came from a dealer that goes by the name of"Coin and Confidence". Report this Post to the Staff
walrus New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 09/18/2010 11:50 am echizento, Working with your tentative id, it is in fact Claudius(Gothicus)II. After another couple days(now)in olive oil and some light brushing,I've been able to ID the reverse as Laetitia w/corn.& wreath and I in right. When wet and under magnification,these features show up nicely.Dried & scanned not(yet)so well. Thanks to those that posted(other threads)links to Wild Winds and Forvm Ancient Coins,both great sites! As the other coins continue to clean up,I'll post scans and if someone can ID the obverse, I(hopefully)will be able to do the rest. Thanks again to all, Ken Report this Post to the Staff
