<p>[QUOTE="moneycostingmemoney, post: 2767295, member: 86367"]A little while ago when I realized the mistake of overpaying for rolls of "unsearched coins" on the bay I started seeing lots of uncleaned ancient roman coins and wondered if it was the same scratch off type "investment." I say that from the standpoint of someone buying a bag of coins and thinking that if they pay $500 for the bag there must be a $500 coin in there. I understand that part of this venture is the fun of an archaeological preservation (which the dork in me would love to set half of the dining room table up to do) and I get that the process of cleaning brings a different angle of fascination to some, but is it the process that you're paying for or do some people really find some rarities while cleaning? </p><p><br /></p><p>I have no experience with this area and haven't found much on it, but I will also admit that I haven't tried to look too hard as you guys here really know your stuff and I'd rather learn from the CT fam than a stuffed shirts book<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie77" alt=":pompous:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
