Your video about cleaning roman coins introduced me to the whole hobby How quickly I went from "wow, you can own these ancient artifacts!?" to "oh, another fallen horseman"

Incredibly detailed and well struck portrait of Trajan beautifully restored

I wonder what they bought with that coin!?

Thay emerald color is beautiful such a magical process

How much does a coin like this cost? if you were to sell it
Comment from : Nox

I don’t know much at all about ancient coins but this coin is beautiful, well done

Thanks for sharing this

Do these coins maintain their condition more so because of the make and material of the coins or rather the environmental conditions of the place the coin was lost?brCan modern coins last this long if they were in the same environmental conditions?

I wonder if a carefully calibrated laser cleaner would work without causing damage to the metal underneath?

Monumental video! Selling my coin collection (including ancient roman) when I was a homeless teenager was a sinking feeling brPerhaps collecting again I will regain youthful numismatic excitement I had at the time Thank you for TIME, the most valuable currency

It’d be great if you can do a video addressing the dreaded bronze disease

I started a new hobby thanks to you watching your show and being introduced to Kevin at NRC question for you is this, what magnifying lamp do you use? I bought one, but its too weak in my opinion maybe 2X magnification I'm reading that a 10X magnification is best thoughts? Thanks!

Hi Garrett! Fellow Chicagoan (Madrid-based now) coin restorer enthusiast here I just wanted to suggest that you check out Saúl Roll's free online PDF guide "A Method for Cleaning Ancient Bronze Coins" Essentially, it involves a stereo microscope and extra fine diamond-dust coin cleaning pins I was also using a scalpel and a magnifying lamp prior to changing gearsand the difference is tremendous in terms of ease/confort and results (especially when it comes to the smaller, 4th century coins)

I am reminded of the money one can spend cleaning (and flattening) long-playing micro-groove records There are instructional videos on how to repair jumps or skips of the stylus in the groove There are those who can decipher the "hieroglyphs" in the area in the "dead wax' area of a disc where the music finishes If you say vinyl, I can cope, but if the plural "vinyls" is used well, I almost "peter des plombs' as the French say ps I still prefer the CD experience (ref "Tracking Angle etc on YT)

Have you tried doing that using electric toothpick?
Comment from : nesa1126

Amazing vid👍 Is there a product that gives cleaned coins that ‘Wet’ look? And protects and lasts for many decades?
Comment from : oldplucker1

As always just fascinating and thank you for sharing I loved watching the slow change, very calming Having history in your hands, I would worry about scratching the coin, but you make it look easy It would be nice to know why the other processes destroy the patina, maybe I hope in another coin video??? 😃
Comment from : AdamB

Amazing I wonder how "perfectly round" these coins were when new
Comment from : asgerms

Would it help to start with distilled water in a Jeweller's ultrasonic bath?? Patina is well adhered so should not come off with dirt particles
Comment from : Peter Egan

Truly magnificent piece of ancient metalworking and art Were these coins stamped or cast (or other)?
Comment from : Bentation Funkiloglio

A beautiful coin! What luck to get it in your haul--
Comment from : Shawna

It is stunning to see such an old coin cleaned and look less worn than a 50 or 100 year old silver dollar
Comment from : Jamie Kelly

I can really understand why it's such a rewarding hobby! An ancient treasure, a link to the past, slowly uncovered from the dirt Archaeology in miniature!
Comment from : Marc Pengryffyn

Loved seeing the details emerge
Comment from : Tom Mosher

About the cleaning Would ultrasound devices work at some point of the process? Also, have you tried fiber-glass pens (brushes, really)? As an electronic guy who uses those for cleaning PCB pads, it feels like a natural go-to
Comment from : heatseeker Junior

Fantastic coin, your final video look at it was wonderful!
Comment from : Mike Morgan

I love these coin videos Could you light the coin more strongly, or increase the contrast so we can see the details? They always look much muddier than I guess they do in real life
Comment from : unclvinny

You did an amazing job! Fantastic coin
Comment from : Michael H

Do any ancient coins have the year they were minted on them? When did that become a thing?
Comment from : naciremasti

Perhaps that coin cleaning could be sped up some but still safely with air pressure? Still methodical, just a better tool?
Comment from : Corey

Wow, it really is beautiful All the details in his hair
Comment from : Yorkshire Pudding

Beautiful coin
Comment from : Flower Meerkat

Really nice Trajan! Great to see so much of the legends, and the portrait is great I am excited for you!!! None of my bronzes of him are anywhere near that nice (I do have an amazing denarius though!)
Comment from : Mark Petersen

Whoever did the Sponsorblock segment already when this video is only 5 hours old with under 500 views, you're an absolute legend
Comment from : I I

took long time to clean but it turned out to be beautifulbrgood job
Comment from : arm strong

Dr G! You never fail to enchant me If I may make a suggestion - as one of your FIRST fans - you might gift me that coin for my 65th birthday just past I know that is exactly the sort of gesture you love to make! And I know that (if you haven't actually noticed) you share the same profile as Trajan - sans barbe But without the massive taurine neck, needless to say
Comment from : Cerberus

The patina is beautiful Are there non destructive cleaning methods, such as ultrasonic or low abrasive tumbling?
Comment from : Michael Best

It's wild that you knew the potential of the coin from the beginning

Awesome, good eye and nice work, thanks for share this your esperienze, like from Italy
Comment from : SUS AИИ

so at the time it was commonly used as currency how much would that coin have been worth? a loaf of bread? a nice meal? or only used as part of a large purchase like property? is the only way for these things to survive to the present is to be lost completely until discovered well past any chance of it being used as money?
Comment from : m m

Wow I did not think all of that was still underneath the dirt and that anyone could salvage it to that degree Great job and thanks for sharing the process

Censored Too hot for YouTube It is a beautiful coin 👍

Of all the billions of people that have passed and still living since the stamping of this coin you are the one honored to reveal its beauty What will this coins future path hold? Will it end up on another planet ? Will it be lost in time again?
