<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Plumbata, post: 3700780, member: 96864&quot;]That last coin looks like an especially crusty 20th century piece, I can&#039;t quite place it but it kinda looks like a Yugoslav, or maybe some other eastern bloc coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/photos/yougoslavie/g856.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Almost certainly not ancient whatever the case, maybe a replacement by the seller with an ancient that is actually uncleaned and actually worth your time is in order!</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: If you&#039;re interested in better quality, <b>actually</b> uncleaned dirt-encrusted coins there are some detectorist eBay sellers who routinely offer decent material. The first one who comes to mind is the Serbian igornaisus : <a href="https://www.ebay.com/sch/igornaisus/m.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/sch/igornaisus/m.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/sch/igornaisus/m.html</a> and their bulk pile lots contain plenty of thickly dirt-caked coins that are actually uncleaned/unsearched. Their smaller gridded lots are generally partially cleaned and presumably searched. I&#039;ve bought from them before and had no complaints with the coins or shipping to USA. As I recall I got from them a high-grade, smooth shiny patina Fel Temp Reparatio with galley ship reverse that was just a featureless dirty disk before I started working on it. I like galleys so was quite happy to uncover it. Nothing really valuable but some actually nice LRBs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
