What are Uncleaned Ancient coins? 2000 years ago in the time of the Romans there were no banks and people simply buried their savings in or near their homes, or in the cases of soldiers, before they went off to battle.These dirty coins have remained buried since that time until the lastest technology in deep metal detection has made their discovery economically feasible. What types of coins could I expect to find? The majority of these coins will be bronze from the 100 to 300AD , but also there will be some Greek dating to 300 BC or earlier and also some trachy (cup coins) from the Byzantine empire of a thousand years ago, you just never know! Not all uncleaned coins will reveal results. After all, many are so dirty that there is no hint of what may lie under the soil. Cleaning The Roman coins which I am offering here are all uncleaned. In this condition not much - if anything - can be seen of what the coin represents in the way of emperor or the illustration on the reverse, because they are covered with a layer of earth. The coins can be cleaned with the help of olive oil, a simple diy electrolysis bath, or using chemicals. Every customer gets detailled cleaning instructions with the coins. During the cleaning procedure you can judge which coins are better than othes. There are always coins which are more worn than others or whose details are less clear, and which need to be sorted out from the rest. How long does it take ? Beginners usually try to rush things and clean frantically for a minute or so. With time and a little experience you will take longer over each coin, taking more care to retain the details. But even using the recommended methods described on the Information page, cleaning can take anything from a couple of minutes to many weeks, depending on the hardness of the dirt layer. On average, let's say a couple of days. 25 WORLD COINS THIS IS A SUPER LOT OF WORLD COINS ON AVERAGE IN FINE CONDITION OR BETTER. SOME MIGHT BE A BIT LOWER GRADE SOME MIGHT BE UNCIRCULATED.
