Questions to pick from (at least 3 per entry) are: 1) Are you looking for pre-determined specific coins or are a bargain-hunter? For example, if...

I've seen both 40 nummi and 40 nummia. Also follis. The name of the denomination. There's 5, 10, 20, etc. And invest some time in the history....

Yeah, those were actually better than the $3.00 Holy Land 'uncleaned' ones I received, although one can't expect anything much for $3. They...
It's all about learning. We've all made mistakes. Your mistake wasn't too expensive, so no super harm done. I'd go with my suggestion, leave...
Dirtyoldcoins has a 'few' genres which are uncleaned/close to uncleaned. I sampled most of the genres last year. Most of the 'uncleaned' genres...
That's very nice of you. Yep, those were about the quality of the 2004 era coins. Actual uncleaneds are getting much harder to find. Perhaps...

Some countries are faster than others. I thought at first that the Netherlands took forever because orders from Biga would take forever (although...
I think it was numisforums where I posted mine during the summer of 2022. There was some discussion about it, where the bits about it being a...
That's a nice, bold example. While I have a fair number of Sestertii, I don't have any nice examples of this type.
I vividly remember an example during the 1990's when I had ordered a very expensive coin, and it was 30 days in domestic post. I really sweated...
My suburb does an excellent job of plowing the streets and I ended up going in for half a day. Everyone almost fainted that I showed up during a...
