I even got a few worthy of being in my perm. collection. The best thing about this place is that its not all constantine and his kin but a good mix of all different times..I got a nice little lot from this place that had some Claudius II, Aurilian, Valentinian, etc...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>But as uncleaned goes, you often get what you paid for, more than likely you will not get the best examples...but there are good dealers out there...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I bought a lot of 100 once from a guy on e-bay who said he was in the balkans and got easily 20 really nice coins (mostly constantine and his kids), they are out there...closer to the source the better...the more they change hands, the worse they are...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I myself choose to buy COMPLETELY uncleaned....you will never get gold and seldom if ever get silver but at least when they are completely crusted over, its as tough for the dealer to see whats under the crust as it is for you when you get them...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The link above will send you semi cleaned with the assurance that they are at least identifiable...or you can take your chances with completely uncleaned...I do the later and I get mixed results but almost every batch of 5 yeilds a good one in decent shape.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
