Today we're doing an art restoration on an Ancient Greco-Egyptian coin of Ptolemy III. Can I clean this ancient artifact and discover the secrets that lie beneath almost 2000 years of dirt?

I didn't think I'd sit here this long watching a guy scratch a coin with a stick but here I am. 🤔
I think two edits are needed, short one with a history lesson and voice over, one with music, uncut and as long as possible, i had this on while working in my shop and was cool to look up every few minutes and see the progress
I liked the music. It added to the theme of the video. Excellent choice.
Thanks for the feedback!
i definitely prefer the look and viewing experience of the fully-cleaned coins, but i'm very happy to get such a long video of your process. perfect for relaxing my mind before bed
Wonderful restoration. The back side of the coin with the eagle says in Greek "ΠΤΟΛΕΜΑΙΟΥ ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ". In English, "King Ptolemeos".
Good to see you back
This process reminds me of how I clean and etch fossils! Very Kewal!!!
All these videos are great
I really liked the part of the video when you talked about it the history while cleaning the coin it’s kinda like a form of asmr I guess. but also if someone new discovers your channel such as someone who doesn’t collect coins it may get them interested in the history. Great video! sadly though the only ptolemaic coin I have is in a very rough condition.
Your needles look very abrasive. What are you using, and how is it not scratching the coins more? New sub.
at 00:10 ..cat approved 'this s my coin'
Hi, friend! I'm from Ukraine and I also clean antique coins. I liked your approach to partial cleansing. I also began to understand this with experience. I want to use a tool like an agate tooth, have you heard of this
Awesome! And thank you, every one gets a bit better. I've never heard of using an agate tooth but now I must look into it!
I was captivated throughout this video!! Excellent job!! Yes, please do more videos. Looking forward to future projects. This is the 3rd of your videos I've watched tonight. The music was great as well, it set the mood.
Thank you so much!
The music is nicely supportive, i enjoyed watching your efforts
Growing ancient watching.
I think the holes are for aligning to give the coin a full strike. So they wood not be off center punch. I really enjoy you videos. Take care.
Definitely a plausible take! Thanks for watching, I'm glad you enjoy them!
Монеты Птолемеев большие и красивые, такие приятно держать в руках, они могут быть достойным украшением любой коллекции,
Nick could you make a Amazon link or something that shows what stencils and other products you are using.
Its a beautyful job!
A little late to the game, but enjoy your videos and attention to detail. The holes in the designs that you refer to are really no mystery to those who have been involved in ancient numismatics for many years. Obviously the "holes" are created by protrusions on the dies themselves. Since they do not always line up perfectly obverse to reverse, that would tend to eliminate the "lathe" theory. With these larger and thicker bronze pieces, too much heating before striking would also have caused major planchet splitting which I'm sure would have been avoided as much as possible, and you rarely see any major splitting issues on these. Taking this into consideration, the "holes" were very likely just a function of a multiple-strike minting process due to the natural hardness of the bronze alloys and the higher relief design of the dies. The "reference holes" would have allowed for making multiple strikes of the dies with very little die re-alignment problems. Notice too that you will seldom see such die alignment reference "holes" on low relief coin designs of softer metals such as gold or silver.
These videos are ace. Do what you want dude. Experiement try things. Whatever, everyones going to have an opinion but fundamentally its super solid content
Greetings from Barcelona, Spain 🇪🇸😇
Nice Video, thank you. Where do you purchase these uncleaned coins?
I have 3 bags of Romans to clean. I purchased a few of the Egyptian coins offered from a find in Saudi. They have the eagles and portrait on front as yours do.
That's awesome! Let me know if you ever want them cleaned i'd be happy to try one.
I traded an envelope of US mint stamps for a small box of assorted Roman territory and empire coins still covered in dirt from Dalmatia . found a few were the devalued silver coated or plated if u will. that was back in the early 90's and have gotten many since. Purchased a metal detector find from Lithuania most of which you couldn't tell what they were for all the dirt. There were a few Roman and also some later ones of the Polish/lith issues 13th-15th century. There were several silver and bronze including a Queen Catherine of Sweden silver . I find the history interesting as well as a thought someone told me of who held these coins and or lost them a simple working person, farmer, soldier, or a person of the nobility.
What is that dull needle you use?
I want to get one!!!
Coin penuh dengan sejarah sangat luar biasa
The obverse bust is Zeus-Ammon, not Hercules. The club on the reverse is the symbol for the Tyre Mint.
Yes that was my mistake!
Hi! First of all, amazing video! Secondly I would like to know where you buy the tool used to scratch de coin, thank you! I expect more videos like this!
Maravilha amigo show
with the symmetry of the depressions maybe it held a jewel of some sorts
my Roman coins are full of hard blackish material i cant really remove it if i press to hard i just damage the coin. i see some green patina coming true are there any tips or tricks to get the coins in better shape. :)
Nice. I like a little faster, but it's ok because I can skip through. I would be interested in what equipment you use for filming. I don't want to do a TH-cam channel, but I think it would be fun to clean up some coins in finer detail that I find metal detecting.
Yeah, about the music... that guy's banjo needs a serious tuning.
Dziękuję
New to this channel
How do you get coins like this?
Unfortunately only a little way into the video and its really difficult to watch with the background music and if i mute it I'll miss what you say...
Yes the music is annoying. I turned the volume off and turned on subs.
Maybe I can upload a version without music for those like yourself who prefer not to have it. Thanks for the feedback!
@@historyathome It is only while you are talking thats all the rest is fine
@@historyathome do it your way bud!
Anyone else blow on the screen to remove dust from the coin?
First
Congratulations!
Thank you l love your coin cleaning videos and was happy when this one was uploaded
As a Greek how loves ancient coins it says : "ΠΤΟΛΕΜΑΊΟΥ ΒΑΣΙΛΈΩΣ" . It means "King Ptolemeos"

Sorry...Looks like a toon coin. Ya need to take it all the way. Just my liking, to each his own. It ain't my coin.
I watched your video that had 400k+ views. I like your channel and I think you're trying to hard with trying to change the formula on what worked. Keep it simple & you're not the history channel. The history channel is dying because youtube is better. Keep the intro super short, like 5 seconds I should know whats about to happen. No one cares about your personalized intro, it hurts becuase I'm sure you put effort into it, but there's a lot of things you can put effort into that are not effective. "I got this Ancient Egyption coin from an ebay auction and will check to see whats behind the dirt!" Cut into the action.... Also, everything in this world uses the following formula to form addictions, and you're channel at its core is a gambling type channel & viewers get addicted (not in some evil way, just stick with me). This is the formula loop to form addicts: Opportunity -> Unpredictable Rewards -> Repeatability -> Opportunity -> Unpredictable Rewards....... and so on. Each video is one of these cycles and if your videos follow the cycle people will go look into your other videos and click on them to continue the cycle. Another note, if you do want to talk about history then that's fine, but don't introduce large concepts at the start of a video. You want to start with emotion, then slowly work into a large concept so the viewer can feel like they learned something, then back down to emotion at the end of the video... Hopefully this helps you understand why you're one video did so well and these once you worked harder on have not performed as well. Use this knowledge for good and not evil, or just think I'm a dumb guy on the internet and you do you. ***Side note. you're probably reading this because you saw a notification that promised you "Opportunity" ... You're reading it because of the "Unpredictable Reward" of what another human might provide in a comment. And I'm sure you'll read other comments because that is the "Repeatability". This formula is literally everywhere..***
