  • I put ancient Roman coins in olive oil for over a year to restore and clean them. Did it work?

    I have been soaking some ancients in olive oil for 22 years. They went in as featureless slugs. Most everything is now down to bare copper, which I regret because in the interim I've learned that the patina is really part of the coin. Mine are a dull copper color, like new copper piping, with some recesses still holding on to some patina. All the details are now visible. I would not recommend soaking ancients for as long as I did, it kinda wrecked them. Silverpicker's year sounds reasonable to me.

      That's pretty amazing though that you've had the restraint to leave them in there so long though! Still very cool experiment

    Use 100% lemon juice

    Use warm soapy distilled water instead of tap water, Otherwise the coin will get bronze disease. Yes i would like to see more vids on uncleaned roman coins.

    Neat

    I imagine that bad smell must be Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S). The Sulphur part comes from the decomposition of the Sulphate radical SO4, which corrodes Copper to give it that greenish colour.

      Possibly. It mostly smelled like rancid oil though

    That brand of jam you used for the jar helped shelter Jews in ww2

    The last coin you showed before you went back to Constantine, I saw a bust figure looking left.

    What metal are they made of?

    • @Silverpicker
      @Silverpicker  4 місяці тому +1

      I think they're some type of bronze, but I'm actually not so sure

    The one with the guy on the back is Constantine and the man on the back is the god sol Invictus

      Thank you!

      Also just for clarification I was talking about the one you could read Constantine on

    Do you know who the people are on the coins?

    Waste of perfectly good olive oil, been there, done that!

    Any method which can be used to restore coins should be used to identify the coins. Some coins may never be restored. But then you're no better off than if you tried nothing at all.

    I just wanna say this not related to the video: Living in the suburbs of Philadelphia I almost exclusively see Philadelphia coins. I’m curious if u
    You folks living in or near Denver west point or San Francisco see more coins in circulation from those mints or is it just a Philly thing?

    Nice video. But for ancient coins shouldn't be cleaned. But a couple are in really bad shape may not affect the value

      All ancient coins are cleaned. Literally every single one you have ever seen.

      I’ve heard it’s fine to clean ancient Roman coins. Like any cleaning to make it better makes it, more valuable. But not for modern old coins, don’t clean those!

    • @BrytonHitzfield-rl5bu
      @BrytonHitzfield-rl5bu 4 місяці тому

      Wow really? All have been cleaned before?

    • @markp44288
      @markp44288 4 місяці тому

      they pretty much all come out of the ground, so maybe there are some exceptions if the coin was right in the middle of a hoard but even then I suspect it was still encased in dirt and moisture and needed to be cleaned.@@BrytonHitzfield-rl5bu

    Did you say you bought five 2000 year old Roman coins for 25 bucks? is there a place where you can buy cheap Roman coins? That are from Jesus time?
