<p>[QUOTE="Aaron Apfel, post: 2508244, member: 67415"]Yep, almost all of the uncleaned Roman coins I have bought turned out to be quite common. Although a lot of the common follis that you get tend to be in incredible condition, I have a few really nice specimens that I got through Crusty Romans. They might not be worth much but they sure are pretty to look at. </p><p><br /></p><p>I did however get a pretty nice silver denarius of Severus Alexander through them too. It hardly needed any cleaning and was very obviously a nice silver Roman coin. Anyone could have cherry-picked that out, but they didn't, and that one coin out of the 30+ paid for the whole lot. And I totally agree with you, the Greek ones are so much more interesting, and also tend to be worth more. I still have a bunch of really interesting Greeks that I bought a couple of years ago that need identifying and further cleaning (if I can find a safe way to get that damn stubborn crud off).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
