- NEW COIN RESTORATION • Silver Roman Coin Rest...
As my first upload I show you how I restore this ancient Roman coin of Valerian from 270 AD. Subscribe for more restoration videos!
Fantastic channel. I'm a detectorist and collector in Thailand. As a boy in Canada, I collected and cleaned roman coins, buying them in bulk on eBay 20 or so years ago. Since moving to Thailand 10 years ago , I've been collecting Khmer Empire artifacts , as well as artifacts from kingdoms found in and around Thailand. We use the same tools and use renaissance wax as well. The only thing is that cleaning an ideal coin can take a few hours to a day, whilst artifacts take weeks , months, years.
That's very cool! Would love to see some of your finds some day. Are you working with a historical society or museum to log the finds?
I’ve missed your coin clips on the older crew videos. I hope you continue making these.
Thanks for sharing Nick 😊 I found this video and watched it before going to bed last night. It was so satisfying and your voice was calm and relaxing. I’m not much of a coin/history buff but would love to hear more and am keen to see more videos of your treasures being uncovered - seeing the flecks of silver was awesome. Thanks for sharing now off to watch the other vid
never thought i'd enjoy watching a dude restoring a coin from 2000 years ago, so satisfying :)
good video Nick, i want more of them now ;-;
haha thanks for watching! I'm working on some more cleaning videos and a few other ideas as well!
This coin is much older than 200 years old. It's much closer to around 1500 years old
@@huntercohen4613 oh wait I forgot an extra 0 lol
I’m amazed every time ur videos pop up ,as a metal detecting guy u make them coins pop. U make it look and sound so easy 🤷🤯
I have been waiting years for the resurrection of the coin juice.
Haha you're an OG!
An excellent demonstration which I shall refer to in the future, thank you so much
This was very relaxing to watch
Continue with the awesome vids my man, you really made my day
Thanks for uploading!
I've got a bunch of Roman coins including one of Aurelian, but with Sol on the reverse and it was minted in Ticinum, now Pavia in northern Italy (RIC 151 P). Although the one I have was bought in a coin shop, you certainly did a great job of cleaning this one.
Thanks for the upload! Looking forward for the next one! :D
Thanks Ian!
Just found your channel and just found this video. As a collector and also a history lover this is awesome
Glad you enjoyed it! I just cleaned this huge bronze that I'm excited to share on here soon!
Seeing this video was great. Can’t wait to see more content. Hope you recover quickly :)
Thanks! Got some great cleanups coming soon!
What a neat hobby! Would love to see your collection in a future video. I enjoy Roman history but never delve into the coinages. Looking forward to seeing more!
Cool idea! Would videos that focus one one specific coin and its history/story interest you?
@@historyathome yes definitely! Would also be interested in the procurement process you went through to get these coins! I’ve planned to get some archaeology kits to play with with my son, but this might potentially replace that plan!
I agree! I’m interested to know how you got the coin, its history/story and a little more about what got you into it in the first place (or your history with doing it)
Very enjoyable! Great hobby, thanks for sharing it in more detail. Was intrigued by it since you mentioned it on Corridor!
when and which video did he mentioned it?
@@isxaa4164 I forgot, sorry. Maybe it was a crew cuts episode on the website.
Nice video! Very interesting. I like the music you use.
I hope you keep making videos!! ♡
Very cool!
I am getting closer to starting to do all of this!
Great video 👌
Отличная работа! Супер!
Great video, time and patience led to a great result. Subbed, good luck.
Awesome, thank you!
Nice job cleaning up this Aurelian.I agree with your attribution as RIC 394.More specifically from the 2nd emission 1st phase of an undetermined Balkan Mint (autumn 272- autumn 273) Estiot cites 119 ex. From the La Venera Hoard and a couple of more at the Paris Museum.There is a chance that this is instead RIC 48corr. from the 3rd emmission at Rome with Estiot citing 13 ex. from La Venera and another in Paris.
awesome vid nick!
Thanks man!
W channel, can't wait for new content
Nice looking good 👍
Very nice video, I am a coin collector from India,many thanks sir
Thanks so much for watching! welcome
Thank you so much for sharing this! I got a small batch of coins for Christmas and have been looking for some best practices on how to clean and conserve them. This video was really helpful.
Any tips for distinguishing dirt vs corrosion? A lot of the coins I got seem like they are probably not really well preserved, and I’m kind of nervous about working on areas of them that might look like encrusted mud but are actually just corroded sections. Is that something to worry about or am I being crazy?
Thanks again! Super glad I found your channel!
Thanks nice work,diamand tip tool is cool,but can it be done with hard plastic scraper?
I just discovered your channel and this is awesome! How do you get your coins? I would love to do this some day, but my oldest coin is only 95 years old, small in comparison to 2,000 years.
Cool
Have you considered using ultrasonic tub for soaking?
more coin resto please
Great job! It's amazing.
Could You please give a hint what microscope model do you use? I'm just looking for something similar :)
I have a very similar one to this, it's slightly smaller and CON SER is split like CONS ER
I was wondering (and speking with no knowledge on coin restoration) if you shoud use a waterless solution like Isopropyl alcohol rather than destilled water that can promote corrotion and tools lower in the Mohs scale (Wood, bamboo) so you preserve more of the patina? Great work!!! very entertaining
Where do you get these marvelous coins
Why does you coins look so easy to clean. I usually get coins that have a thick tar like gunk on it. Over the course of months a slowly rub tiny bits away. Where do you get such such good coins?
Cool where did you get the coin from
These bubbles as you soak the coins in the beginning - distilled water becomes quite acidic when exposed to air. But for a short time it should be OK. I wonder if there aren't any neutral liquids that can dissolve dirt but not attack the metal.
What are your cleaning tools made of and where do you get them? Thanks
Can you please give some info about the needles you used? Blunt and diamond tip, maybe an Amazon link? Thanks
Great video . I think this is emporer aurelian and the coin would be silver washed like silver plated but nice coin
hello, very nice videos, I want to ask what solution do you use when you soak a coin and then clean it only with wood?
Where can you buy the tools you use to clean the coins as i have many to clean and wont risk ruining them
What do you think about soaking in hot water (Constantly change the water to mantain the temp)?
What solution did you use? What utensil? How long did it soak?
Where do *you* get the increased coins from? Do you buy 'premium' ones?
what tips do you use to clean them?
I hope to see more videos
What was the name of the book you showed briefly in beginning? Thanks
How long did it take you to conserve that coin and what tools did you use
Is the tool you use for cleaning a special pen? what kind? thx
Is the tool you use for cleaning a special pen?
You should keep this up like you did on the old crewtons videos.
I'll try my best!
Hello my friend, what material did you put the coins in the jar please
Ustam onu ne ile temizliyorsunuz elinizdeki alet nedir yada koydugunuz su farklı mi acabaaaa
Parabéns
what kind of tools do you use and where can i buy them?
Найс!!!
How long does it take to restore these historical coins
Hi
The catalog with images of the reliefs of the coins that you show in the video, where can I buy it??
The only good coin is a clean coin. Thanks for your contribution to history!
I'll trade you this coin for 5 chicken chunks. think about it.
@@historyathome deal, sucker!
I'm assuming the dirt, even when wet, is much too condense for an old toothbrush to scrub away without risking damaging the metal?
Yes. Plus i find a toothbrush to be an extremely broad and imprecise tool to do what should be methodical work.
Can you mention what type of tools you use? I have several ancient coins, some of them clean easy and sone just are impossible. Wood toothpicks, needles, plastic toothpicks? I have damaged some and just hate when this happens.
What is the name of that book bro
Thank you for the channel and this video. A question; what book is it in the intro (approx. 0:57 in the video)? Thanks in advance! /Henrik (from Sweden)
Nick best videos. Can you let me know where you get your tools? Can't find them any ware. I have so many questions. Iam working on my first coin. At 81 its good to try something new Thank You
Hello! Can you please tell me the name of the catalogue with all the symbols? Thanks!
Me: can we have history?
Mom: no, we have history at home.
History At Home:
My unfortunate experience is that below the dirt bronze metal detecting finds often are completely toasted... maybe due to acidic soil..
Do you wait for coin to dry after you finish cleaning and before you put wax on it? And how long do you dry the coin if you do? BTW Awesome video!
Yes drying the coin is essential. Try setting it under a hot lamp for several minutes on each side to dry out any moisture that's gone into the pores and cracks. You don't want any moisture trapped under the wax layer or it can rot.
Neat
Where's the Nice green patina gone to?
That research montage was pretty dramatic haha
what tools do you use??? this is a hobby i want to get into i already have a few ancient coins
First of all a better keyboard might help.
@@ne0n1880 bro I think I was half asleep 💀😂 I’ll fix it
Any idea on how they silver plated the coin?
That's a really good question. Might have to make a video on this.
Are these for sale
have you ever thought soaking the coin in white vinegar and every hour use a cloth to rubb the surface? overnight soaking is best. also you can use electrolysis
Both of these methods can be extremely damaging to the patina of an ancient coin, and should be avoided.
Where do you get these. coins from?
they are in the ground :D
Why don't use an ultrasonic bath?
Haza!!!
Wazza!
Why not first wet the coin and allow the dirt to disintegrate into the water (or distilled water), and then scrape off as much of the moist dirt as possible just using your fingers, and then moving onto the needle? This would leave the needle with much less work to do and a clearer view.
Aurelian was a gigachad emperor

Why not by electrolysis? It is way, way faster, fare more cost effective, coins are better cleaned no scratching marks and leaves the patina beneath intact.
If you can show me a proper method of elec that does not ruin coins i'll try. So far it's only been destructive in my experience.
Come on mate show us the coins that have been soaking 3 months ago this type of video is cool
I’ll try and get to some of those next - new videos on the way!

Why you look similar to the Corridor guy
hmm I wonder?
From the makers of the guillotine channel. "The coin channel"
The logical progression, no?
¿why not a brush? a tooth brush would not harm the coin and remove all that crap a lot faster
A tooth brush is just about the most imprecise tool you can use for cleaning a highly detailed and fragile coin like this one. It would take any remaining silvering right off with the dirt.
@@historyathome But a toothbrush is nylon, soft enough as not to harm any metal, even lead. Otherwise it would also hurt your gums. You have very soft tootbrushes also for sensitive people.
And then you have hard artistic paintbrushes that are quite soft too.
I really doubt a brush could harm a metal coin, which also has a patina and you can see the patina fading before any actual harm to the base metal.
They also use brushes to remove dirt from bones and clay artifacts from archelogical dugouts....
Also... ¿No tools in Corridor to help with this task?
The music and speaking is an uninteresting video.....IF you will more videos..quit music, and talk more high....
beautiful video...where do you get the coinz?
Вы молодец, я тоже занимаюсь чисткой монет Рима
AE means that it is not silver or gold. It is only bronze or another base metal.
Yeah those romans were conned
