I've cleaned many batches of roman coins, and have always been "happy" if I get 4-5 nice coins out of a batch of 10. There's usually a slick or three in the batch, and often there are several badly corroded coins, even in the "good ones." I recently bought a batch of "Premium" 10 lot coins, and paid an extra $4-5 over a regular lot. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! Instead of getting 4-5 nice coins, I got 10. That extra $4-5 is well worth the money when you start calculating the cost of time and money into what ultimately ends up being a "dud" coin. Don't settle for less. Buy premium! I got mine from desimone_1, and couldn't be happier. I fully intend to get the next batch from them, as well!

The coins were as shown. The "bonus" of a couple of "slugs" to practice on is a really good idea. Especially for beginners. Showing what could be gold coins is a little naughty but silver coins (or silver washed) are in the mix. Most collectors/cleaners would agree that no one they know has ever found a gold coin in a mix. That is a very minor criticism. The coins I received were good quality uncleaned and arrived promptly.

Most of the coins I received were of collectable grade with clear legible features and writing; Also, the price was quite reasonable. This vendor is quite good with customer service and I will certainly buy more in the near future. James Hamilton M.D.
