<p>[QUOTE="ancient coin hunter, post: 2901299, member: 87200"]I picked up this cache of 194 late roman bronze pieces for $375 last year. Curious to get an opinion from the forum members if this was worthwhile or not. The seller actually cleaned the coins prior to selling them as an example of how uncleaned coins represent a great opportunity to acquire some interesting coins if you are willing to spend some time (and elbow grease) to clean them. Didn't come from ebay but actually an outlet in the U.K. that specialized in selling "complete hoards with nothing picked out."</p><p><br /></p><p>I haven't really attributed them yet but I can see a lot of Constantine and sons, Arcadius, Valentinian, Theodosius, and other LRB types. So, without further adieu, here's the photo. Plus, as you can see, they came in a nice velvet drawstring bag resembling a coin purse. If you would like to share experiences buying uncleaned hoards I'm all ears. These days I am just buying individual coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]698869[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]698870[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
