Thanks for the very quick reply and generous offer Would you be agreeable to a trade? Seen about £30 worth of books on your site that i quite fancy. Cheers. Tony

Thanks everyone for the great info. I've had a look through lots of the other posts & understand about not cleaning coins. But if i get some of these kind of coins then they've got to be cleaned up to identify them. After looking around on the net i've read lots of conflicting information about what & what not to do & i don't want to ruin a good coin. So what works safely? Olive oil? Water? Electrolosis? Vinegar? Cola? Soda? WD40? Its all very confusing. I've got lots of shillings & sixpences that look almost black. Any ideas why and are they best left as they are? Thanks again.

Got loads of foreign coins but nothing very old. Was looking around on fleabay & saw people selling uncleaned & unsorted roman coins. I'd guess that unsorted means that they've checked there's no gold or silver coins & only bronze are included. I do quite like the idea of not knowing what it'll be until it's cleaned, but was wondering if it's value for money or not? Coins were around 50p to £2 each. I don't really want to collect coins because they're worth alot but more because i like the look, if you know what i mean. So..... is it worth paying upto £2 for these? Is there much chance they'll turn out half decent once all the dirt is removed? Thanks. Tony

Been collecting coins for a while ( mainly foreign cos they look nice ) Was given a bag of coins and found a weird 10p included. Can anyone give any information on it & is it worth anything???? Thanks. Tony..

Hi all, Thanks for letting me join the forum. Can anyone give any information about this 10p? I got it in a bag of coins a friend gave me.
