<p>[QUOTE="ancient coin hunter, post: 3696290, member: 87200"]These coins are very worn and also very much examples of what one finds in "uncleaned" hoards. I used to buy them from the UK but the vendor went out of business. One lot included 278 coins of which about half could be attributed. Only about 20 were in a condition which would attract a buyer. Some of the rulers included Licinius I, Constantine, Constantine II, Constans, Constantius II (most frequent) and Valentianian. For the most part I don't buy uncleans anymore. My hoard cost $320 and like I said included 20 coins in marketable/collectible condition. Lots of slugs and culls. While it can be fun to attribute them you should not consider them a valuable investment. It's better to buy a single coin in excellent condition rather than these examples. At the end of the day you get what you pay for, just like most things in life.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
