<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 5132151, member: 19463"]Welcome Sensible. What you will find harder to believe is that there are quite a few ancient coins that are fully identifiable that sell for about the same as an Indian Head cent. There are higher value rare and higher grade coins as well as the equivalent of cents you might find detecting and consider boring. Yes, all ancients have been cleaned but some were buried in a good way and cleaned with care while others fell in corrosive soil and were eaten up. There are ancients for every taste and price bracket. I encourage you to do a little Internet searching and see if there might be a place for you in the hobby. One collector recently spent $4 million on a coin; some go for $4 or $40. The variety of ancients that can be found in the $40 to $400 range should make you wonder why people pay that much for some cents.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
