<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aaron Apfel, post: 4769468, member: 67415&quot;]Hi finny, I also bought some of Noble Roman&#039;s premium uncleaned several months ago and will post my review on the forums in the next few days (been working away from home for a while so never got to finish cleaning them all).</p><p><br /></p><p>Overall I would say I am happy. I don&#039;t know a lot about the value of the individual coins (I usually look around ebay after identifying them and take the average price with a grain of salt), but I think I had a better experience than [USER=75143]@hotwheelsearl[/USER]. I bought 20 coins and was sent 22. Almost all of them were identifiable, around 6 of them I would consider were really good, 6 were just good, 5 were okay and 5 were unidentifiable (to be honest, I typically consider anything identifiable to be okay).</p><p><br /></p><p>I remember mentioning in my message in the checkout section that it was my first time buying from them as my other go-to dealer had stopped selling. This may have had an impact on what I received. Either way, I will most likely buy from them again.</p><p><br /></p><p>In terms of cleaning, having a stereo microscope really helps; so if you find yourself getting sucked into the hobby of uncleaned coins a stereo microscope is life-changing. Cleaning ancients and identifying them is definitely a hobby that is rewarding in its own way. The amount of hours I spend cleaning the coins is no way worth whatever &#039;profit&#039; I make from having bought uncleaned vs cleaned.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.romanorum.com/docs/A%20Method%20for%20cleaning%20ancient%20coins.%20Romanorum.com.pdf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.romanorum.com/docs/A%20Method%20for%20cleaning%20ancient%20coins.%20Romanorum.com.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.romanorum.com/docs/A Method for cleaning ancient coins.
