<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Johndoe2000$, post: 2745002, member: 82085&quot;]Hello all. Ancient noob here. I am slowly but surely, (thanks to this forum) finding that my coin collecting tastes are evolving away from moderns, and into ancient/midevil coinage. My tastes unfortunately are above my station. (Lol) I like the ones that have excellent details, and are very clean looking as well as the jet black shiny ones. I find most are unfortunately out of my budget. My question is pertaining to the jet black (oily looking) shiny patina/toned ones. Are they stable/safe, in this condition, for preservation purposes? What causes this? And best places (value) to find such coins. I do know of Ken Dorney, and V-auctions. Any more? Any advice to someone who&#039;s tastes are above their wallet size? </p><p>&nbsp;Thanks in advance.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; John.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
