[QUOTE="clembo, post: 263922, member: 8033"]A very good question! I collect mainly U.S. type coins. 99% of my collection is U.S. However, on rare occasion I have bought a lot of uncleaned ancients. Did it off of ebay and most are slugs but cheap slugs if you have a little "mad money" burning a hole in your pocket. A few turned out rather well though. One was minted in Constantinople I believe and depicts Remus and Romulus suckling at the wolf. SO HOW COOL IS THAT to a guy like me? It's been buried for centuries and I found out what was underneath all of the crud. I actually haven't done this in a few years (more like 5). At first the wait did bother me but as I did it a few times it got easier. Makes you appreciate that patience is a virtue I guess. Not my cup of tea but I still like an occasional nip![/QUOTE]
