<p>[QUOTE="Jhonn, post: 247424, member: 5418"]Ha, it's a coin that is so worn it's basically just a piece of metal with no discernable design on either side. Sometimes, esp. when you buy uncleaned off of eBay, some of the coins are already slugs, but there's so much dirt and crust on them that you can't tell until you've cleaned them. Other times the coin is pretty worn, but due to OVER-cleaning, you destroy what little design was left. These are 2000 year-old coins, so there can certainly be a lot of slugs in a 'lot' of uncleaned coins. However, ancientcoins.ca sells uncleaned coins that have virtually no slugs in any given lot. They are very good about picking out the bad stuff before selling anything.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
