Very nice coins for the amateur who's moved beyond the slugs and 'floorsweepings' and now wants to try their hand at cleaning something beautiful. I ordered 6 coins, and received a nice mix of nickle and dime-sized coins, plus one nice, quarter-sized gem. Most cleaned up quite well in a simple soak of distilled water. They were all Constantine and later (300's, you know) and most show a beautiful green patina. One is tougher than the rest to clean, so into the Gringgott's Mix it'll go. I'm very happy with the quality of these coins (most nicely centered and readable) and as one turned out to be the precious Sol Invictus ("Soli Invicto Comiti") I always hoped to find! Once again...very nice coins from a trusted seller ;_)

Salve! Although I'm looking forward true premium Balkans coins, it is a plasure to work on ‘uncleaned Roman coins fron the Balkans’ I agree with Kevin; they are not only for training your cleaning skills but you always find a treasure. Remember guys: you get a piece of history on your hands. Happy hunting!

Received the coins and looking at them there was one with a hole in it and several clearly poor quality. There were a few decent condition coins but it was obvious that they have been picked thru as some showed the first few letters cleaned off ( const ) and one with its edge ground to expose what kind of metal was in the coin. Overall not a bad deal just less than I was expecting. It is truly hard for individual collectors to find real dirt covered and unsearched coins.

These coins are great. They have been easy to clean and almost all of them have detail. The coins have a nice green patina and have not disappointed me at all. I look forward to ordering more thanks.

Some of my coins are decent, some are very worn. I am very happy with one in particular that depicts a lovely nike on the reverse. I do wish that none of them had extremely powdery patinas but several do. Of my 15, I would say that about 6 are really in good enough condition to merit cleaning well. That said, this is a great cheap way to get some fun coins, just wish a few of them were better.

good, nothing to write home about. enough constantiniusess et.al. AE coins. I need silver or silvered antoninianus coins to pique my interest. Not for these prices though. a good fair product. few surprises
