Hate to be an "old man" but you used to get truly coins fresh from the field with a couple of sellers. You really did have a chance at some good coins. I got a group once that had many small Cleo VII bronzes in there. About 7-8 years ago the pickers got way stingier, and the vast majority of uncleaned coins nowadays are major problem coins, or simply uncleaned low quality late romans. </p><p><br /></p><p>For that reason I completely stopped buying "uncleaned coins". They just are a bad buy, when you can get precleaned coins pretty inexpensively. At this point, I cannot in good conscionce recommend buying uncleaned coins.
