What's hidden behind the incrustation? Is the Aurelianus Roman Coin good?

#coincleaning #ancientcoins #numismatics
That's the time-lapse of the cleaning process. This Aurelianus is not the best, but his charm is still there. I found that scraping dirty coins is a very relaxing and calming activity 😌
About the coin:
Obverse - IMP AVRELIANVS AVG - Bust of Aurelian, radiate, cuirassed, right
Reverse - IOVI CONSER - Aurelian, standing left, holding sceptre and receiving globe from Jupiter
region and mint: unknown
AD 270 - 275

The cleaning method is mechanical. No chemicals are used in any part of the process.
The liquid used for soaking is distilled water.
Cleaning and basic coin restoration are a hobby for me. This is not my job, I'm not a pro.
Everything I do in this video is my responsibility and at my own risk.
If you need to restore a valuable coin - go to someone who knows what is doing :)
Nothing in the video could be taken as a useful technique or advice.

What kind of solution did you use at 30:12?

What is that tool with the yellow tip? A toothpick? Another nice work

Thanks! I appreciate it!
I've cleaned less than 30 coins, so there are a lot of mistakes to be made. 😁
Toothpicks are a little thinner than my pencil. These are made from soft pine wood. Almost the same as the toothpicks, but 0.25mm thicker (+-0.01mm)
