Identification Help / Re: Require help identifying mintmark on Magnentius coin!
« Last post by Ofir Y on Yesterday at 09:44:47 pm »
Also note: when looking through lists of possible mint marks I noticed that the only magnentius variation with a dot at the end, has B as its last letter, whilst on my coin It seems a lot more like an R.
Could anyone help with that maybe?

Identification Help / Require help identifying mintmark on Magnentius coin!
« Last post by Ofir Y on Yesterday at 09:39:09 pm »
So the coin is a Magnentius Large chi rho 
with 
on its left and 
on its right, on the bottom is the Mintmark but I'm having trouble Identifying the specific one. (Coin is 28mm)
I've attached a few pictures of the coin, on the very left of the mintmark I've Identified a letter but completely clue less as to what it is, in the middle it could be an or a 
, on the right its an R or a 
and on the far right I believe is a simple 
(dot).
Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Uncleaned Ancient Coin Discussion / Re: Some Tools and Tips
« Last post by v-drome on Yesterday at 09:33:22 pm »This is a repost from an earlier topic. I have come to really appreciate uncleaned silver, though in some cases it may be necessary to treat them. Uncleaned denarii are much rarer than cleaned ones, these days. "Here are some denarii from Caesarea Maritima to show the variety of surfaces that can occur with silver coins in a moist seaside environment. All are as found with the exception of the Hadrian, which was even more coated in green than the Pius. This was cleaned about 40 years ago, probably with household ammonia, which as I mentioned can be risky if the silver has a high copper content. Ammonia dissolves copper and can leave a shiny surface that may be porous or brittle in the worst cases. I was lucky with the Hadrian and I think it looks very nice, but I have left the others as they are." https://www.forumancientcoins.com/board/index.php?topic=112296.0

I attended the annual Texas Numismatic Association (TNA) convention in Arlington, earlier today, and came across this coin at the table of Nick Economopoulos. It's a solidus from the first reign of emperor Justinian II.
The coin is very lustrous, and well struck with complete legends all around. It is also essentially full standard weight, indicating no clipping.

Uncleaned Ancient Coin Discussion / Re: Some Tools and Tips
« Last post by Nathaniel N2 on Yesterday at 09:01:26 pm »Thanks. Good to hear that Hendin also condones lemon juice.
I've had mixed results with uncleaned coins depending on the dealer. Spending more than $10 normally gets some great coins. Alternatively, auctions sometimes have uncleaned coins that you can purchase and clean up resulting in some major savings. I'm still kicking myself a bit for not getting a Trajan Sestertius that I saw two months back It went too high for me though (but did it really?).
