  One has to wonder how many hands those coins passed thru and all the things they purchased before they finally ended up on your YouTube video. That&apos;s why I love history.

  You are quite bold, laundering money in the open.

  Holding a Roman coin in my hands is always really neat. Just thinking about where the coin mightve been or who could&apos;ve held that same coin just over 1,800 years ago blows my mind every time. Part of why I love collecting ancient coins. Especially how influential Roman money still is to this very day.

  The title actually describes it rather nicely, cleaning coins is an &quot;art&quot;.<br>Its definitely not for everyone, it takes a fair dose of patience and personal learning from experience.<br><br>I particularly admit I dont have the patience for it, and I greatly admire those who can do it, after all, it is thanks to these people that more coins are restored to their former glory and go out there for collectors like us to enjoy.<br><br>Thanks a lot for another great video! :)

  I bought my first roman coin on eBay last night and I don&apos;t think I can put into words just how excited I am for it to arrive. It&apos;s a copper radiate from the self-proclaimed Augustus Carausius&apos; reign in Britain. I bought one that was already cleaned because I don&apos;t think I&apos;m familiar enough with the coinage yet to start cleaning my own, but this video is saved for when I feel ready!

  Hey I could watch like 3 hours of this. You should definitely do more. I absolutely love to hear the stories of the coins

  You&apos;ve inspired me to to try this out. Just having something from 2000 years ago held and used by someone amazes me.

  As a history student and (part-time) coin enthusiast, these videos are why I wake up everyday. Thank you for making this!

  I used to buy from Kevin at Noble Roman Coins a decade ago. Cleaned several thousand Roman coins and took a year off. Just got back into the cleaning just to enjoy the process and was looking to see if anything had changed in 10 years. Not much changed. Nice video, thanks!
