<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pishpash, post: 2379177, member: 71514&quot;]I <b>sort </b>of agree with Doug.&nbsp; I started off with uncleaned coins and if I bought 20, I would be lucky if there were more than 3 or 4 coins that would be identifiable.&nbsp; Nearly all the coins were culls.&nbsp; However, I did learn a lot and it was a huge amount of fun.</p><p><br /></p><p>Once you hold a &quot;good&quot; coin in your hand, your interest in uncleaned lots tends to diminish fairly rapidly.</p><p><br /></p><p>The amount of money I spent on uncleaned lots could have bought me many &quot;good&quot; coins.&nbsp; If I were starting out again would I still do it?&nbsp; Quite possibly, because it was fun.&nbsp; If you have the urge to learn cleaning, go ahead and buy a couple of lots.&nbsp; You will need patience to do it properly, it can take months to clean a coin.&nbsp; Get it out of your system before you move onto the better stuff.</p><p><br /></p><p>It depends on your budget.&nbsp; They say &quot;buy the best coin you can afford&quot;.&nbsp; Keep a look out on Vcoins for cheaper coins, look at the state of the coins, look at the state of the coins that you like.&nbsp; If they are a little more expensive, save up for them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Stay away from ebay before you have a little experience under your belt.&nbsp; Lots of fakes out there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
