[QUOTE="Gavin Richardson, post: 2970634, member: 83956"]Last year I ordered one lot from a FORUM auction member. It was not particularly good. It will probably be the last lot I order, unless I just want to have some fun with a "grab bag" of ten coins or so. Honestly, I think you'd be more pleased with the results and end up with more "keepers" if you just went to VCoins and searched for Roman Lots. These, for example, would end up being less than $3 each. [url]https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/zurqieh/171/product/lot_of_88_roman_ae_coins_nice_quality_as_found/678539/Default.aspx[/url] Multiple VCoins dealers offer lots ranging from 10-100 coins from time to time. Of course, they will be semi-cleaned and will contain no scarce or valuable coins. But there's still more work to be done on the coins, especially if they are sold "as found." If you just want to educate yourself or have fun, those lots may serve those purposes. That's how I've tried to approach the lots I've purchased in the past.[/QUOTE]
