<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancient coin hunter, post: 3058432, member: 87200&quot;]I purchased 4 uncleaned lots between 2014 and 2017, each with about 250 coins (1/2 kg). The average price for this amount of coins was about $350 per lot. </p><p><br /></p><p>While I enjoyed cleaning them up and attributing them I found that there were lots of duplicates (fel temp reparatio of constantius II for example). On the whole, I gained about 50 collectible coins from that expenditure.</p><p><br /></p><p>You will find that the majority of the coins are in unsaleable condition, lots and lots of slugs or &quot;culls&quot; . When the outlet I was using shut down (maybe the one you are referring to in your post) I did some google searches for uncleaned coins and found cointalk.com. </p><p><br /></p><p>Since then I have only focused on good quality coins that will retain (or perhaps increase) in value and have participated in a number of auctions, for example [USER=42773]@John Anthony[/USER] &#039;s that are run here on the forum. </p><p><br /></p><p>So while collecting uncleans can be fun, you will find it very time consuming and perhaps not worth the effort, but of course, to each his own.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
