<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hotwheelsearl, post: 4438912, member: 75143&quot;]There are two main places I’ve seen with decent prices.</p><p><br /></p><p>One is based in CA, and that’s who I buy from. The coins are 90% cleaned. However only about 25% are identifiable, 60% are slugs, 5% are Byzantine slugs, 1% are Seleucid or “other.”</p><p>You end up paying a lot for slugs.</p><p>Average price per coin ranges from $0.70 to over $1.00</p><p><br /></p><p>There’s also a guy based in Serbia that sells what I believe are pretty quality uncleand. They appear to be simply dirty with clay or other non-rock encrustations. There’s isually enough showing to have a good idea what you’re getting.</p><p>I haven’t bought from him, but prices seem to go to around $2.00 a coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>After buying a total of 800 coins from the first source, I’ve concluded that you can’t profit from these lots. Generally you’re lucky to break even.</p><p><br /></p><p>And, I haven’t found anything spectacular for my efforts.</p><p>90% are the usual suspects - Constantines, Constantiuses, Constanses, Valenses.</p><p><br /></p><p>The best and most valuable so far have been:</p><p>Maximian x1</p><p>Antoninus Pius x4</p><p>Commodus x1</p><p>Elagabalus x 2</p><p>Severus Alexander x 3</p><p>Gordian III x 4</p><p>Diocletian x 1</p><p><br /></p><p>If you’re down to be buried under countless generic Constantius II FTRs, then these are the lots for you![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
