[QUOTE="singig, post: 4588607, member: 93672"]Some months ago I bought a lot of 91 uncleaned large roman bronze coins. I paid 230$ shipping included (around 2.5 $ for a coin) , but :( , as you will see from the photos , many of the coins are extremely corroded (bronze disease) or very worn. Even with this I took the risk , hoping to find at least one valuable coin which will justify my investment. I'm not sure that all of the coins are coming from the same hoard/find (the majority for sure) , many of them are sertertius , around 12 ases and one dupondius , Claudius(41 AD) to Severus Alexander (235 AD) , till now. I'm sure that they are part of a larger hoard and the person who found all this has well selected and kept the best coins. I cleaned around 30 coins , but unfortunately only 16 are in decent grade and can be posted here. In the next days I will try to post photos(before and after) with them. These are the seller photos , they always put the best coins visible on top :) [ATTACH=full]1136231[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1136232[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1136233[/ATTACH] I will continue to clean up more coins in the coming months, I hope to have time,..and post them here. From the 61 coins left uncleaned , I selected only 24 with some potential , all are completely covered no details can be seen(photos both sides). The others 37 left are highly corroded or to worn.
