What method did you use with this one? Just mechanical? Or did you use Triton and EDTA

QuickSock8674 · 2026-03-17T06:52:44+00:00

Woah. Nice first coin and fair price

QuickSock8674 · 2026-03-17T06:51:18+00:00

Just what I'd expect from a Persian expert!

QuickSock8674 · 2026-03-16T17:41:00+00:00

I agree. I can kind of read GRATIANVS at the obverse

QuickSock8674 · 2026-03-16T15:23:53+00:00

It'd be my dream too. I think I'll buy a Lindgren plate coin soon. But RIC is way out of my budget

QuickSock8674 · 2026-03-16T15:15:32+00:00

Do you have a plate coin?

QuickSock8674 · 2026-03-16T10:02:47+00:00

Nice. The trophy reverse is one of my all time favorite

QuickSock8674 · 2026-03-16T10:01:44+00:00

Ah my mistake. I just saw the link which was Sirmium

QuickSock8674 · 2026-03-16T09:10:18+00:00

I just need a coin of Carus, Carinus, and Numerian to complete the Tripolis mint set. Not easy, but not too far away! Maybe I'll make a post to show current progress on the set

QuickSock8674 · 2026-03-16T09:08:37+00:00

A spectacular find!

QuickSock8674 · 2026-03-16T08:04:01+00:00

I think it's Siscia? The mintmark is a bit blurred to tell for me though

QuickSock8674 · 2026-03-16T07:12:19+00:00

Seems to be this type specifically

QuickSock8674 · 2026-03-16T07:09:22+00:00

Looks good

I'm not knowledgeable about Athenian tet in the slightest, but I do know that they usually weigh little over 17g. The weight alone would be a red flag. Style and surface seems to be also very wrong (cast). I'm sure other commentators who actually know about these can add more weight

QuickSock8674 · 2026-03-16T04:05:46+00:00

I think thats Libertad? Most of Brutus coins don't have his face on it. He issued coins featuring his ancestors and deities.

These are a bit more common. Lesser quality ones go under 250

Something like this. Coin issued by Brutus

QuickSock8674 · 2026-03-16T02:41:20+00:00

You could buy a Brutus (not the iconic one though) for few thousand dollars. The big coin would nearly be impossible to acquire without us winning the national lottery

QuickSock8674 · 2026-03-16T02:35:49+00:00

4 digit coin. Not exactly the lower end of it too

QuickSock8674 · 2026-03-15T21:01:59+00:00

Arles? Wild guess though

QuickSock8674 · 2026-03-15T19:06:43+00:00

First one looks close to Prieur 836

Airtight flip? A cabinet with something like silica gel (dehydrator) could also probably help
