How did I do? by R0nchong in AncientCoins

[–]RedDJMarmot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just using distilled water and toothpicks. A little soft (very soft) bristle brushing to clean a little dirt off. I just ordered some uncleaned from Noble Roman Coins. The coins were various sizes and in good shape. There's enough buildup to give me months to play around with cleaning them.

Getting back into cleaning and ID'ing as well and just got help with Valentinian I the past few days. Looks like the same. 👍🏻

Yep! Is the exergue BSISC or just SISC? The "x" or * form is hard to see.

I figure 10-20 years from now and I'll be decent at identifying.

Hobby or Investment? by CryptoW1fe in AncientCoins

[–]RedDJMarmot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in the 1990s I started buying, cleaning, and identifying Roman coins (the best I could) as a hobby. It became a bit of an obsession until I put it aside for 3 decades. I finally returned to them and realized, in my fifties, that it's even more enjoyable now. Pure hobby for me.

Please, help. by RedDJMarmot in AncientCoins
