Watching the cleaning is fascinating. Sure wish my uncleaned coins were that easy :)

This is some great video of the cleaning a Hillingdon Hoard potin coin. Cleaned using only a toothbrush, a toothpick, and a spot of water. Brilliant!
I rather like the reporting, which points out the coin type ("flat linear"), with a stylized Apollo and Charging Bull, and the potin alloy of lead, tin, and copper.
SC:
Wow. I wish every uncleaned I had cleaned up like that......
