[QUOTE="randygeki, post: 1772343, member: 13719"]I agree with the others about getting a nice cleaned coin. You can find some nice Constantine era, or coins of Gordian III at good prices.

However, I would only buy those today if there was a particular coin in it I "needed," and most of the coins in those lots I gave away or sold at a loss. You could try all three and get a cheap uncleaned lot, a low grade cleaned lot, and a nice cleaned coin. :D Edit: Just to add, I have found rare coins, and coins in nice condition in lots, but never enough to make it worth it.
