Message:: [QUOTE="Gao, post: 681143, member: 19409"]I've gotten some pretty good deals.  Here are some of my favorites that were under $10. The first one is my favorite coin that I ever got in an uncleaned lot.  It came exactly like this, and I thought it needed no cleaning at all: Constantius IIReigned AD 337 – 361Coin Struck AD 337-341AE 4 FollisNicomedia mintRIC VIII Nicomedia 11 O: DN CONSTANTIVS PF AVG, rosette diademed bust right R: GLORIA EXERCITVS two soldiers standing to either side of one standard, SMNB in exergue The next two were in a set of low grade denarii and siliquae that I got on eBay for $15 total.  I can post the rest from this group if anyone wants.
