<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 8002743, member: 42773&quot;]Some dealers sell uncleaned coins because there is a whole branch of the hobby that loves cleaning coins (not me). And there&#039;s no lack of uncleaned Late Roman Bronzes - they churned out countless millions of coins that are constantly being unearthed, as galba68 demonstrates. But uncleaned does not mean unidentified. You can be sure that any lot of &quot;uncleaned&quot; coins has been cleaned just enough to cherrypick any rarities. No dealer in his right mind would sell you a coin so completely covered in dirt that it was unidentifiable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
