    Most of the coins here are clearly listed as a reproduction ('commemorative silver plated'), which was reflected in their price of only 10-15 dollars. I don't think that's either a scam, or a 'fake'. If you don't get that it's a modern reproduction, that's your own fault. And the one that had REPRO in the title in all caps? You're calling that tiny writing?

    My first attempt at cleaning roman coins was with the point of one of those dental floss-picks, which I anticipated would be a safe hardness, but I soon realized that I needed a microscope and something with a finer point to avoid just wearing away the high points of the softer than expected patina. With a microscope I started using an old sewing needle and slowly abrading down the mineralized "dirt" and stopping at the black patina.

    I love replica coins myself, as long as they're being sold as such and they're priced accordingly (this is, under $2 from the Sellers I buy them from). They are a great addition to any modest coin collection when money is a concern and a cheap tool to introduce children to this world and teach them a bit of history to boot.

      @@historyathome that’s true. That why I use sand as a substrate for mine. I put a coin in a tiny jar, fill it with sand and let it run for 2 minutes. If I don’t notice any damage, I let it run for 10. The rest I clean up with a fiberglass brush.

    You just saved me from a purchase dude. I just started back in coin collecting. First thing i thought of was getting into acients and I saw that Theo* in the slab. I've been pondering its purchase for a couple of days now. I like the slab because it's for me easier to identify for fakes or not as I'm not experienced enough. You just earned a subscriber and a like. Thank you for your content!

    Perhaps this has been asked already but why not soak the coin in something (DI water?) and then use a (ultra-)sonic cleaner? Wouldn't that at least remove most of the dirt and decrease the amount of rubbing required?

    Does it make any difference if you use distilled water versus normal water? To avoid the thing oxidizing after the surface becomes exposed to the air

    • @historyathome
      @historyathome 22 дні тому

      Good question! I always use distilled water, as is recommended.

    • @brurzell
      @brurzell 17 днів тому

      As a chemist I can tell you that it does not make any difference, if you use normal water or demineralized water. You dissolve so many ions from the dirt and the coin‘s surface so that the demin. water becomes quickly a “normal“ water. As long as the patina of the coin stays intact, the surface should be protected from oxidation. After cleaning I usually apply a wax to make the surface shiny and to conserve the coin.

  • @SpitfireExtra
    @SpitfireExtra 22 дні тому

    Good to see another cleaning video. 🙏 Thanks. The thorn does not seem to weaken due to the moisture? I have used grill sticks of wood and they work when dry only. Can you sharpen the thorn with fine sand paper? I will pick some. They are common here in Sweden 🇸🇪. Have a nice day! 🙏

    • @historyathome
      @historyathome 20 днів тому

      Thank you! The moisture didn't seem to affect the thorn much, until the outer layer was breached and then it lost structural integrity at a quicker pace. It's necessary to switch out your cleaning thorn before this happens to maximize efficiency. I fear sandpaper would just accelerate the process of degradation.
