[QUOTE="Aaron Apfel, post: 2041855, member: 67415"]Hey guys, A while ago I purchased a lot of uncleaned ancients from a site called crustyromans. They sell by weight, this being to reassure the buyer that they haven't been sorted through by them (even though they almost definitely have been sorted through by previous hands, as with all uncleaned ancients). Although the majority still need further cleaning. I've taken pictures of the ones that are finished with being cleaned and some that are still being cleaned but are somewhat promising/interesting. There are still loads of coins left to clean, of which 60-70% are identifiable, so this is just a small sample. My goal with these coins isn't to get the best quality, but rather a nice quantity of history. Within this lot are quite a lot of noticeable Judean's, Roman's, Greek's, Islamic's and more. Feel free to help me with the identification of some of the unidentified ones, and please tell me if you think it was worth the buy? Although I'm not too bothered I'd like to know if I lost/turned profit on these coins (even though not all are clean yet). It cost me $150, from looking on ebay I'm pretty sure some of the nicer ones have paid it off? But I honestly have no true idea of the value of these coins. I need to know whether it will be better to buy from somewhere else next time. Thanks, Nastiest ones first, best till last. (Sorry the picture has come out so small, can't seem to make it bigger at the moment..) [IMG]http://i61.tinypic.com/2uyoza1.png[/IMG][/QUOTE]
