1 Original Magic Cleaning Pencil Uncleaned Ancient Roman & Greek Coins Pro Tool
| Thousands of Ancient Coins in our Ebay store! Click to view them! COINS ARE NOT INCLUDED! Price is for 1 Original Magic Cleaning Pencil Safely and Quickly removes dirt and debris from coins! The Original Magic Cleaning Pencil  This is the 'go-to' 'general purpose' pencil. With this pencil, you can clean major devices and clean large areas of the surface. While it is best to always use tools in circular motions, you can safely use a back and forth motion with this. Except for very soft patinas, you can press quite hard with this without going through the patina, which can be quite useful when moving large pieces of dirt or flecking clay sheets off of the coin. In general, it will also leave silvering intact A great feature to the material of this pencil is that it will break away before causing any significant damage. An added bonus of it, you can clean silver coins with it! As long as you do not press excessively hard, you can clean away most debris from even silver coins! DO NOT attempt to use this on very hard encrustations as it will break. A note on sharpening: Use a large hole sharpener to remove the wood portion. Then, use fine-grit sand-paper to refine the tip. I recommend placing the tip flat on the sandpaper and pulling the pencil towards you WHILE turning the pencil in a circular motion (you should practice this. You can do so using a normal household #2 pencil). It is best to continuously refine the tip rather than letting it get too dull. I want it to be perfectly clear before you buy that due to the delicate way that these pencils are manufactured, the useful portion (the 'lead') of the Original Pencils only extends about 1/5 of the way down the shaft (approximately where the letters begin on the pencil is where the filling ends). With proper sharpening techniques and careful use, these pencils can last through many cleanings. I just don't want anyone to be shocked when the pencil runs out much sooner than anticipated. As with all cleaning methods, it is recommended that you practice on culls/junk before using it on good coins. These pencils are sold as-is with the only warranty being that the pencil will be roughly as pictured (the wood color varies by shades of brown) and will be of good quality. They are manufactured to the HIGHEST degree of quality. With that being said, through normal use, they will wear out and will need to be replaced (and you can obtain them here). Giving you an estimate as to the lifespan of the pencils is not possible due to varying frequency and intensity of use, but you can expect to clean many coins without needing to replace it. The useful portion of the Original Pencil (the center filling) DOES NOT go all the way through. In fact, it only goes about 1/5 of the way down the shaft of the pencil. With that being said, with proper sharpening techniques and careful use, they should still last a while. Lighter cleaning jobs will make your pencils last longer, as will proper sharpening procedures.

The Ancient Romans were a proud and mighty civilization. They conquered much of their known world and many powerful enemies in the process. At the height of their power, it seemed as though they were unstoppable and that their power would last for eternity. It comes as no surprise then, that eventually they would place the legends ROMAE AETERNAE on their coinage. These legends translate into "Eternal Rome" and these coins usually depict the Roman city goddess Roma with a Spear and a victory in her hand as well as a shield beside or beneath her. These icons were symbols of Roma's might. The spear represented the strength of the Roman army and the phalanx. The shield also representing this might, but also giving a sense that under Roman rule, one was safe. The victory of course representing its namesake in the victories over Rome's enemies.
It is clear that the Romans thought their empire would last for eternity. Of course we today know that the Roman empire did not last for eternity, and that what remains is only a small shadow of its former glory.
All is not lost, however. The coins they minted have preserved a snapshot of their memory. These coins bare the mark of their creators and reflect their lives, customs, and history in images and denominations. By preserving and collecting these coins, we are keeping their memory alive.
Romae Aeternae Numismatics offers this history at prices affordable to most everyone. You too can own a piece of this history and memory of the Eternal Roman Empire! Here at Romae Aeternae Numismatics, we have chosen to include the depiction of Roma on our logo and seal of authenticity because we believe it represents Rome's most meaningful piece of Numismatic history. It represents her national pride, her traditions, her power, might, and her prestige!
A certificate of Authenticity (signed by our professional numismatist) is included with the purchase of all coins!
I hope you find something that meets your interests!
Thanks and God Bless,
Ed Beck
