[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1576340, member: 26302"]Dang Bill, beat me to it. :( I wanted to be the one that answered the weird ones. :) Btw Cazka, the Romans are pretty rough. I hope you didn't spend much on them. Similar late roman bronzes, but in much better collectible shape, are available for not very much money. ;) Its a common misunderstanding. People think, well a coin is REALLY old so I should expect a coin to be corroded or otherwise damaged. Nope! We are actually stricter then modern collectors in grading, and nearly all ancients are available in nice, clean, high grades. About the only exception to this statement I believe would be some medieval coins. I have never seen most Sogdian type coins in really good condition, so if you wish to collect them you have to collect deficient coins.[/QUOTE]
