If you&#039;re buying the average buck-or-two a coin lots you see from most sellers you won&#039;t find much of anything worth more than a buck or two, most of the coins will be coins that few collectors would want, else the finders would have cleaned them themselves. Occasionally you can find rare varieties and things buying smaller groups or single uncleaned coins but you tend to pay more for them and you really need to know what you&#039;re looking for. I paid $105 and $75 for the last two uncleaned coins I purchased, in both cases they were rare varieties that were priced similarly to common varieties, and in the second case I probably don&#039;t have a coin worth much more than $75, I just have a coin that I might otherwise never find if I hadn&#039;t bought that one.</p><p><br /></p><p>Really, if you want to make money cleaning coins, the best way is to clean others&#039; coins and get paid for it. I&#039;ve met a handful of people(mostly dealers) who do this for other dealers, auction houses, and occasionally collectors such as myself. They get paid the same whether the coin is a winner or loser, and they&#039;re cleaning the coins that got picked out of the group before they got put on eBay or wherever.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
