[QUOTE="Ian, post: 34383, member: 283"]Yep. seller says a lot as it is ...like "AND HAVE BEEN WIPED BUT NOT POLISHED"....and the difference is ? It's all down to just exactly how hard they have been wiped. Numismatically it sounds like they have been dealt a fatal blow. "THIS COINS HAVE A CATALOG VALUE IN EXCESS OF US$6,350"...presumably that is before they were so benevolently `wiped', because in their current state they don't have anywhere near the stated value. On the positive side, there appears to be some quite rare coins there. Even in their `wiped' state they should attract reasonable prices. However at $4,500 it is certainly no bargain (IMHO). Even with the rather fancy and novel but unweildy Germanic coin holder thrown in for free. Why don't I see everyone rushing to snap up that opportunity of a lifetime. Can't at least one sucker...erm I mean serious collector recognize a good deal when fed a reasonable sales pitch? :-) Ian PS sometimes words can flow quite readily.[/QUOTE]
