Message:: [QUOTE="YOC, post: 1875869, member: 58941"]I do see Dougs point.  Cup coins in average condition are cheap to purchase, in poor condition they are almost given away and in very nice shape, still nowhere near what a nice Greek or Roman would fetch.   I sold one cup coin which was far from perfect on ebay last year and it flew out at £12 buy it now. Thats about $25.That said, I paid £1.50 a coin for these.  I know from the 5 I have 'dipped' already that the coins are showing nice strong detail, with 2 being much more 'silver' in colour than the others.............rumour has it that alot of these coins when cleaned are more silver in colour than some cup coins which appear very bronze.  This from what I have seen on certain sites makes them slightly more sellable.  I am confident that I cannot lose money at this price and so with the fun of attribution and cleaning, which to date has been really fun, I have taken the gamble.  I reckon there will be a rarer coin in here which will boost the earnings......(have to be optimistic)I intend to keep this thread going to the end if possible, so I can keep track of money earnt from this lot too..........that will be fun for me.  Beautiful coins and pictures as usual Doug........Watch this space fellow CT'ersYOC[/QUOTE]
