[@daviddpg]

Dude, this is too cool!

[@historyathome]

Thank you!

[@StoneCold334]

Wow thats cool!

[@apolloforabetterfuture4814]

What's up Nick? I didn't know about this channel great stuff.

[@historyathome]

You found me!

[@jeylists]

Super nice cleanup! I'm wondering if you would be interested in doing a collection video of sorts? Going over your most interesting coins and their stories?

[@historyathome]

Cool idea!

[@OgirCoins]

Great job as always at revealing all the details for this Roman coin. Really like the reverse design of phoenix atop blocks/rocks. Strong features on obverse too. I was surprised you mentioning that the coin was left in distilled water for a week. Interesting.

[@historyathome]

Glad you enjoyed it! Yes I normally give the coins a bit of a soak before taking off any dirt - it really helps to loosen up the sediment.

[@OgirCoins]

@@historyathome great to know. Thanks.

[@franciscoterol2753]

Increíble, como queda la moneda, enhorabuena.

[@creounity]

Nice video :)

[@historyathome]

Thanks!

[@tataglontz]

Awesome work! Do you keep it in distilled water for a week? If so, do you change the water daily? Thx

[@historyathome]

I keep it soaking in water for usually a few weeks, changing the water only once or twice

[@АндрейБыкадоров-ф5й]

Хорошо когда грязь и песок, а если окись меди нарушает рельеф, то сложнее.

[@SpitfireExtra]

Thanks for sharing! Always some new things to consider! 🙏. Is it easy to detroy something when using brass tools? Did you use the composite pencil to? 🇸🇪👍

[@historyathome]

I sometimes use composite pencil yes- I’m trying to completely phase out using metal tools because of the collateral damage.

[@baranbektas5025]

How do you soften the soil?

[@Bluelobster36.5]

Soaking in water or olive oil can soften the dirt making it easier to clean

[@baranbektas5025]

@AsherHamilton-m6z What is the liquid you use?

[@Bluelobster36.5]

@@baranbektas5025 I normally use just water

[@thehammah8039]

would love to get idea of value on these

[@historyathome]

This piece is probably worth bout 20 usd

[@SuperMortiki]

Thank you so much for the content, me personally I would enjoy more video on the finer detail cleaning than the general muck cleaning I think more detailed cleaning would be more exciting

[@historyathome]

Noted! I appreciate the feedback! I unfortunately lost all the footage of the detail passes for this cleaning - but I’ll keep it in mind for next time.

[@amandak.4246]

i like both, personally

[@rustyfox81]

You must get this question a lot, do you ever use an ultrasonic bath ?

[@historyathome]

I’ve definitely been seeing a lot of comments asking about/recommending it. I own a cheaper bath unit but every time I’ve used it, it destroyed the coin. If you know of any resources on ultrasonic coin cleaning specifically I’d love to learn.

[@Tanks_and_avation]

​@@historyathomeyou should use MS70 that can definitely make the coin shine

[@القناص-د3ع]

Is it appropriate to clean the coin with a sandblasting machine? Please accept my regards. I really enjoyed watching you ♥👌👌

[@historyathome]

I would imagine that it would be super abrasive and destructive No?

[@guyranting]

​@historyathome i wonder if you used cork media instead of sand if it would work?

[@AsYouWereRestorations]

Pretty cool process...too bad you lost some of your work. Personally, I would prefer the scraping noises without any background music, as it becomes distracting especially when running the video at higher speeds. Perhaps you are getting some payments from referencing the music, but would be great ASMR without it.

[@historyathome]

Thanks for the feedback! I’ve been thinking of uploading new cleaning videos without music as well as with music - two versions so folks can choose.
