Oh ffs Cleaning high mintage very well circulated coins doesn't harm the value You can't devalue modern coins below face value

I wish it was still here man I would have bought it

What a mug The largest coin is a nummus of Aurelian
Comment from :

Asking me I'd like to use chemicals like water and vinegar, which will help to dissolve the oxidation, layer, 'verdigris' Or maybe soaking in vegetable oil some time and use a soap/detergent containing product (like toothpaste), with the toothbrush You can also try to turn some of the verdigris back into copper with an electrochemical or galvanic method, to reduce it Electric DC current or a less noble metal, like aluminium foil or zinc in a water solution of salt or alkaline is another method Ammonia can also be used to dissolve oxidebrI haven't done much cleaning of metallic objects, except for silver coins and utensils These are my thoughts on how I'd be doing this, but you have to know the properties of the metals If you want to restore ancient objects, get more information about it, particularly if you're numismatically interested!

* The second coin is a small Æ Constantinople commemorative coin minted by Constantine I, the reverse has the goddess Nike/ winged Victory standing on a ships rudder br* The fourth coin looks like a reduced follis of emperor Constantine I or Licinius I, with the God Jupiter on the Reverse holding an eagle and a staff, br* the last coin is a very low percentage billon Antoninianus coin of emperor Aurelian

Charging 28 bucks for those coin should be a federal crime

Bulgarian fake, no?

Here's a like and a subscription too! 😊brYou earned itbrNd about to get a lucky coin (:
Comment from : @elixfelix5854

The winged figure is Victoria/Nike, goddess of victory She is fairly common on Roman coins, even down to some of the Christian emperorsbrbrThe figure with scepter is a male pagan god The style looks like it could be Jupiter as issued on coins by the Tetrarchs (Diocletian and company)brbrThat last coin is Roman and likely from the 260s to 280s CE The spiked crown and style of the bust mark it as being from that era Could be someone like Claudius Gothicus, Aurelian, Probus, etcbrbrAnd, yes, I am sorry to say you were ripped off a bit, although I have seen worse in other uncleaned ancient coin blind lots

If a coin sticks to a magnet it is trash

YOU GOT RIPPED OFF BUDDY 😂 GARBAGE COINS
Comment from : @josephrobertvanderhoff

Your initial cleaning was okay and can't imagine any further improvement All 5 coins are common ones dating from the later 2nd to the early 4th centuries Sadly, all in worthless ungradable junk condition Even at a dollar a piece for those coins would seem expensive! They ovbiously came from hoards and I imagine those hoards had been picked clean (no pun intended) and just the left-over dregs are being sold by Amazon

You can stiffen your toothbrush bristles by cutting them a bit shorterbrAs for toothpicks, I make them out of scrap bamboo Bamboo isn't hard enough to scratch coins, but is tougher than regular wood toothpicks I sharpen the tips as they wear down
Comment from : @jpbonhomme5051

Bloke thinks he can buy a grab bag and identify and value coins with absolutely no experience? A geniune flog
Comment from : @rowdyroddypiper2295

Try cleaning them with vinegar and salt together with a tooth brush brYou are welcome

MMMmmMmM steak
Comment from : @Vibingincorndogs

They minted kabillions of these worthless coppers and radiates Nearly all some constantine or variation of that name, 3rd century anarchy or obscure late 4th century emperor
Comment from : @Moneytane1976

Cool cannot wait to see what happens next
Comment from : @jameshorsted5489

Your not supposed to use tap water since It has all the minerals in and can damage the coin, and olive oil tone the coins, you can use distilled water and let them sit in the distilled water for a week and change the water daily while scrubbing and picking off the dirt with a toothpick
Comment from : @zackedgeworth2387

That was brutal to watch
Comment from : @robertstano6036

The second coin is a commemorative coin of the founding of Constantinople Next is a fallen horseman a4 coin The next one is a Follis from the tetrarchy, the back has Genio and reads GENIO POPVLI ROMANI which basically is to say that he is the defender of the Roman people, the mottled color comes from a mix of breaks through the silver plating to the patina and patina to raw metal The last one is an antoninionus post Aurelian coin from the 3rd century brbrTry buying premium coins from Nero Coins or Dirty Old Coins, at $3 a piece they are all better than any of these
Comment from : @nathanielscreativecollecti6392

Perhaps soaking them in nic-adate will reveal them
Comment from : @sugarbabygirl4u

I can tell u what the last coin u did was
Comment from : @teejay6451

You would need to have Jesus heal these coins before they would be worth collecting
Comment from : @tedlawrence4189

The last coins has Jule Caesar face on it

Bait and switch - coins to knife????
Comment from : @mikespring6165

Very long winded
Comment from : @mikespring6165

You do have to clean modern coins when they're sticky and gunky lol
Comment from : @biggibbs4678

For 28 dollars it's a steal You can find these much cheaper and in better condition
Comment from : @barivs8736

trash
Comment from : @michaelvenniro9682

Really cool knife! And great video your energy and excitement is awesome!
Comment from : @YaeliEz

The reverse of the second coin to the left is the goddess Nike on it
Comment from : @huntercohen4613

Interesting! I’ve been thinking about learning a little more about ancient coins Thanks!
Comment from : @TtheSilverStacker

All metal detecting finds, I would say How about a elephant bone Yes it will cut threw it
Comment from : @shawn1744

The comments so far are actually pretty useful and are mostly spot on It's awesome that Classical Numismatics watched this and commented on it I don't know "burp EE" but that comment is even more precise than what I was going to offer Their guesses are either going to be correct or close brThere was nothing in your video that seemed wrong to me These coins are probably only worth between a nickel and two or three bucks each, so have fun and experiment a little Olive oil might produce a color change you are unhappy with, distilled water is also common to use I like that these coins were actually uncleaned, usually coins sold as uncleaned are just culls These may be culls too, but at least there was some dirt on them! It will be interesting to see what magic the soak may actually do
Comment from : @markp44288

Use mineral not olive oil Just like a cutting board Olive oil will go rancid after a while, making the coins stink as well look ugly
Comment from : @greggelato

I have bought almost all my Roman coins on Ebay In my opinion, I think it’s the best place to buy all your Roman coins One little coin to start your Roman coin collection is the $30 random graded Roman coin I bought one and let me tell you, best decision I have ever made A beautiful coin from 282 AD that I love to this day
Comment from : @thomasheyworth6079

I can get approximate ids for the ancients, after cleaning The first one is probably the hardest of the lot to id, I think I see traces of a two victories facing each other reverse, its definitely a AE3 denomination, but that could be a muititude of emperors of the Constantinian dynasty brbrThe second coin, I can say for sure is a AE3 denomination Constantinopolis commemorative issue circulation coin, minted between 330-337 CE, with victory on a prow, celebrating the city of ConstantinoplebrbrThe third coin looks to be a AE3 denomination fallen horseman late roman bronze coin of Constantius II, who ruled as Augustus between 337-361 CE, this general type is arguably the most common ancient Roman coin type out therebrbrThe fourth coin, looks to be a reduced follis, with genio standing leftwards, I can't quite make out the emperor's name, and the portrait isn't giving me any clues, best bet would be Licinius, or Constantine IbrbrThe final coin is a antoninianus of emperor Aurelian, who ruled between 270-275 CE, I can't quite make out the reverse, I think I see a seated figure?brbrSadly, I cannot provide full in depth ids, due to the condition of the coins, but i'm happy to see that you've made a forray into ancient coins
Comment from : @not_suspicious

Did I miss the $200 scratch & dent grab bag? Waiting patiently 😌
Comment from : @TWISTMYNIPZ

Hey silver picker, use some baking soda an vinegar let it set for 30 minutes If no success let them set for a couple hours that may help with those roman coins
Comment from : @lionelmartinez1753

Great job Silver Picker Keep trying to do some more of these grab bag videos
Comment from : @gamingwithjames2499

Comment from : @marymastromauro8164

Are we sure these are coins, or just sharpened rocks?
Comment from : @Jasper-Holland

That knife is so cool I'm sure it's full tang, but a mention of its construction would be nice (Metal, material, full tang, half tang, ect) I collect knives as well as coins Along with other commonly collected stuff like pens and antiques
Comment from : @NoMythSmith

The big one is greek with the head and beard other might be egyptian both were controlled by roman for along time
Comment from : @carolkirkpatrick7512

Firs big one is greek
Comment from : @carolkirkpatrick7512

Iam not sure but I think that the first coin you started cleaning is a one minted by emperor Galerius and the one that turned out the best is Aurelian, but Iam not sure
Comment from : @SoldToddler

Ancients are the best coins, so happy you made a video about them
Comment from : @SoldToddler

In Jordan 🇯🇴 we have a lot of Roman coins
Comment from : @shadialzubaidi3661
