<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1052533, member: 26302&quot;]I agree. I was fortunate enough to know some real sellers of uncleaned coins, not cherrypicked, and bought many from them back in the day, (7-10 years ago). I found many rarities, Cleo VII, rare rulers, etc. However, I would say 99+% of Ebay &quot;uncleaned&quot; coins are simply floor sweeping of coins that have been picked through multiple times for any trace of value. Nowadays I do not know of a good source of true uncleaned coins, so I simply buy better cleaned ones.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: Btw Paul we all started out excited about being able to buy inexpensively ancient coins. It is fun! Our subsequent advice here is just from collectors trying to help you out to build a lifelong collection that will be both appreciated by you more and will financially appreciate more. I think we all understand your enthusiasm, and am jealous since we remember how excited we were starting out. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
