Message:: [QUOTE="Big Red, post: 1962141, member: 71662"]What excites me, is the "not knowing" of the pedigree of a particular coin and the chance of finding a truly unique one. Would you both agree that offers of "80 uncleaned coins", would be mostly culls and not worth buying? Have either of you ever found anything good, in one of these sales?     I do appreciate your evaluation of my coins condition and it is one of the reasons I purchased it? Really a nice clean strike, I thought? I have not cleaned it myself, but suspect it was partially cleaned, by the folks I purchased it from.      They told me, it was in amongst a cash of Spanish coins, in the 1500-1600 range. They thought it might be Moorish? I thought possibly Islamic and was headed down that road, when, (Lucky for me!) I happened upon this great forum here and you nice folks!      I am one to do a lot of research in trying to find a coins Pedigree, but in the beginning, (Where I be now!) it's hard to even know what is available and where to look for good, solid information? Just glad to be on this forum! Thanks again, Red[/QUOTE]
