Roman Coin Restoration - Full Process & Exciting Results

SILVER! Today we're going to restore an antique Roman coin of Emperor Probus. Can I clean this ancient artifact and discover the secrets that lie beneath almost 2000 years of dirt?

I came across this by accident..but I'm so glad I did...so impressed by the work you do...and the results are astonishing...

Thanks mate, what a great way to start the Sunday!

Good call by not applying Renaissance Wax inside your home. The product has some nasty chemicals in it. I always apply it outdoors, wearing disposable gloves. Nice cleaning job. Thanks for the idea of using a thorn.

Amazing work, Nick. Crazy that in relative time, it doesn't seem that long ago since ancient Rome. So much history has been lost, and we only get these little glimmers of what it was like back then. Can't wait to see more.

Great job on the coin. Silvered antoniniani require a ton of patience to clean right and you did fantastic. Kudos! For a final photo, I like direct sunlight.

I have cleaned one such coin. It's now my profile on Youtube. It was scary stressful to clean mine. A common Aurelian but with great silvering.

Beautiful work. You have a quite an amazing collection.

Another charming and fascinating video.

I really hope you get to do more of this. I'm 1 minute in, and can already tell that i love this.

Wow that coin came out very nice, you did a great job on it. My first Ancient I cleaned was a Crispus silver plated one as well, it was in much worse condition, it has already started to flake off but I will cherish it, it started me on the roads to coins, and coin conservation. I subbed and liked, cant wait for the next one.

Your videos are mesmerizing to watch. What music do you use?

[nerynumismatica]

Awesome vid! Keep doing this videos please!

Would you be willing to do a Q+A style video explaining some of the equipment you use and showing the equipment as well as explaining how you find these coins and maybe how you find reputable sites? I'd love to try cleaning some coins myself! I've collected a few but the latest one I bought had scratch marks that I've now learned were likely from a rushed cleaner than from actual ancient use. Thanks!
