I ordered some uncleaned coins yesterday, on a whim. I said in the second post on this blog that my collecting strategy was to buy single, very nice specimens, of silver denarii and antoniniani. I complained that one will never amass a high grade collection buying uncleaned coins. The majority of these are late Roman bronzes, and the overwhelming majority of those are common Constantinian issues.
Yet I have to admit, I'm really excited to get to clean these coins. It's an added bonus to the already fascinating hobby of Roman coin collecting to be actually able to clean and conserve your own specimens, even if they are common Constantinian bronzes (for the record, I ordered some coins "guaranteed" to be either Valentinian, Valens, or Gratian, as well as some Roman provincials - which should tell you these are probably not deeply encrusted coins.) I won't post here from whom I bought the coins until I receive them and clean them, so I'll be in a position to either praise or condemn. What is certain, though, is I'll be using one of the best "How-To" guides to clean my coins...
