<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2278157, member: 19463&quot;]This post with three pictures shows the question US collectors refuse to grasp.&nbsp; Which of the photos show uncleaned coins?&nbsp; NONE of them!&nbsp; The bottom photo show what was seen after the surface soil was removed.&nbsp; You can see cleaned edges sticking out.&nbsp; The middle image shows the wad busted into individual coins with 90% of the soil removed.&nbsp; The top photo shows coins some of us would call collectible but PCGS would not touch according to others.&nbsp; The rest of the comments here sailed way over my head.&nbsp; There is nothing in the picture I recognize as as late as the Tertarchy (I see Carinus and wife with more Probus and Aurelian). I assume the 294 date means the terminal coin was a Diocletian but most will be earlier.&nbsp; Spain?&nbsp; Really?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Worth?&nbsp; Will people pay more for $20-50 coins because they came from a recognized hoard?&nbsp; How much more?&nbsp; Chances are good that a bunch like this will have some sleepers beyond what shows in the photo.&nbsp; The Magnia Urbica in the photo looks pretty nice so it could be ten times the others depending on condition details and type.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
