<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ken Dorney, post: 2877079, member: 76086&quot;]This is largely an antiquated idea.&nbsp; Very few coins are sold by printed catalogs anymore.&nbsp; As someone who used to issue printed catalogs, yes, I understand this concept.&nbsp; But in the modern age the vast majority of coins are sold digitally, with very little expense (I dont know if this particular auction is printed or otherwise).&nbsp; This lot would likely have taken 10 seconds to catalog, maybe another 10 to shoot the crummy photo, enter it to a spreadsheet, etc.&nbsp; I doubt they spent more than a few minutes total on it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I feel for you, they didn&#039;t give the lot the attention it should have received.&nbsp; But fret not, I will at least bid on the lot myself, and I imagine this thread should (hopefully for you) gain you some bids.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Base metal coins are like any other (silver).&nbsp; They often are unsellable or collectable in their natural state.&nbsp; They need to be cleaned.&nbsp; Often this means removing the original patina.&nbsp; Most people prefer that &#039;brassy&#039; look as an end result.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
