Thanks! I was hoping a fellow HBO Rome enjoyer would notice. I don't mind getting copyright striked into oblivion by HBO for this, these songs are great!
I enjoyed the video. Thought it was quite remarkable the amount of detail you were able to pull out. I do have a couple questions though. What tools did you use to do your detail? Work, brushes, magnifying, etc.
Hi! Thanks for the questions. Since this is silver, no harsh tools were used. I only ever used a sharpened and clean bamboo skewer. I used a scalpel to regularly sharpen it and ensure that no dirt was on the tip, which could cause scratching. For magnification this whole video was recorded under a stereo microscope which I use for all my cleaning. Here is a blog I wrote on my microscope setup cleaningancientcoins.com/buying-a-stereo-microscope/
Before, about 200-250 usd retail, after about 400-500 usd retail. Depending on a few variables. However, most cleans do not result in an increase of value.

What's this coin worth, pre and post cleaning?
Before, about 200-250 usd retail, after about 400-500 usd retail. Depending on a few variables. However, most cleans do not result in an increase of value.
