ambr0zie Posted April 16 · Member Share Posted April 16 Are there 2 coins or just one? Either I am missing something very obvious or this combination of obverse/reverse does not exist. Have you intented to upload 4 pictures and only 2 were added? An advice: please make an effort to take good quality pictures. These are out of focus. Also crop them or else people would just skip. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryro Posted April 16 · Supporter Share Posted April 16 Agreed. These are the front and back of two different coins. And to your question, no. Do not damage ancient artifacts by attempting to clean them yourself. If you're not satisfied, buy coins in a condition that you like. You will do more harm than good in any attempt to clean ancients. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Collector Posted April 16 · Patron Share Posted April 16 The first is too out of focus to attribute but appears to be a Seleucid coin of some sort. The second may well be this one: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herodotus Posted April 16 · Member Share Posted April 16 The first coin appears to be a reverse portraying Apollo holding an arrow and grounded bow. Perhaps(?), Demetrios II Nikator - Seleukid Kings of Syria, Damaskos - 2nd reign 129-125 BC, or Antiochos VIII Epiphanes(?) A picture of the obverse side may help. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
