<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Clavdivs, post: 3254872, member: 93702&quot;]You asked for a &quot;safe&quot; place - not necessarily the cheapest.</p><p>I would suggest buying from here:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://nobleromancoins.com/index.php?cPath=1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://nobleromancoins.com/index.php?cPath=1" rel="nofollow">https://nobleromancoins.com/index.php?cPath=1</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I purchased 2 small lots from here at the beginning of this year ..and the quality was Ok (no complete slugs and a few with very good detail). They are OK quality but expensive for what they really are... </p><p><br /></p><p>As a complete newbie I was willing to pay more to ensure that what I was getting was 100% genuine. Someone I respect pointed me to this dealer. Like you I was afraid at that time to purchase off eBay. </p><p><br /></p><p>It was a good call in the end. I really enjoyed the cleaning process.. I learned a lot about Roman coins and liked reading up on the history of the rulers I uncovered (all Late Roman 3rd, 4th century). I learned about the various mints and how to read the legends, etc... It was a very good launching pad into the hobby.</p><p><br /></p><p>Looking at the site now the lots have changed as I guess inventory moves..</p><p><br /></p><p>For instance you can buy 10 uncleaned Campgates for $60. </p><p><br /></p><p>On the other hand you could easily buy a good quality Campgate coin for $15 that is identifiable, collectible, etc..</p><p><br /></p><p>Just go to&nbsp; &nbsp; <a href="http://www.vcoin.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.vcoin.com" rel="nofollow">www.vcoin.com</a>&nbsp;&nbsp; and search for &quot;Campgate&quot; and sort showing the cheapest first. This will give you an idea.</p><p><br /></p><p>Will you get 4 coins of this quality out of the lot of 10 uncleaned? Unlikely.</p><p><br /></p><p>So if you place a value on the learning experience I say go for it - it was great for me. Should you expect to get $60 worth of collectible coins when you are done cleaning? No. Be under no illusions .. there will be nothing of great value in your lot.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope this helps in some way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
