<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Plumbata, post: 3254925, member: 96864&quot;]When I get hungry for more coins to clean, I&#039;ll either find lots that look promising from European detectorists who aren&#039;t specialized dealers (good deals to be had from such folk), or buy from a popular and generally reliable seller like det_who in Slovakia, a dealer that consistently has good quality lots of uncleaned Roman bronzes. Dirty coins or green corroded pieces that show minimal or no details are usually junk, but ones that show plenty of detail through the dirt are usually appealing and fun to clean.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a representative and pretty decent looking lot from the seller:</p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Lot-of-30-uncleaned-late-Roman-bronze-coin/302979929666" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Lot-of-30-uncleaned-late-Roman-bronze-coin/302979929666" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/Lot-of-30-uncleaned-late-Roman-bronze-coin/302979929666</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I generally agree with the caution advised and criticism offered regarding uncleaned coins; you won&#039;t get rich and will likely be left with some ugly garbage, however cleaning coins and artifacts is a hobby or pastime in its own right, and if the <i>experience </i>and necessary close handling and study of the coins as you clean them is what you&#039;re after then I&#039;d say it&#039;s well worth it. Winters are long here in Wyoming and I have no interest in snow sports, so they&#039;re nice to have around when there&#039;s nothing more important to attend to.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
