    Description

    Authen
    ticity is guaranteed, I do not sell neither replicas, nor fakes!
    I do not grade ancient coins - they can have any grade from low to high.
    Some words about this lot for avoiding any misunderstanding:
    Photos are made randomly about the lot.
    Size is from 9 mm - 20 mm.
    When you bid, I pick out 10 coins randomly.
    Only round, full coins are sent, no broken coins.
    Size is exactly what written above, you can exclude the possibility that you get 20 very small coins. This is a mixed lot, some has small size but most of them are  15 mm or larger. (and there can be very valuable coins amongst the smallest ones)
    Mostly these are 4th century coins as these are the most common, but if you are lucky you can find older amongst them as well.
    This is like lottery, although very bad ones are sorted out.
    Please keep these in mind and bid  only if this fits for you.
    I give you a guarantee that no incomplete or damaged, broken coins will be sent.
    If you find such coin amongst them it is given as an additional gift coin for practicing cleaning purposes.
    Most of them are dirt covered and only a small majority are stoned or have a harder contamination. This does not mean - of course - that you do not need good cleaning skills. You do need that.
    What I propose: do not use any acid as it damages the patina. Use distilled water and soak the coins even for weeks if needed for  softening harder contamination. Use olive oil only if the contamination is very hard and was soaked in distilled water beforewards.
    Use wooden toothpick to remove the dirt. This does not damages the patina.
    Other ideas about how to clean coins might work but do not take them granted. The internet is full of them but many does not work at all or damages the coins heavily.
    These process above might take weeks or even months for proper cleaning.
    If you have any question about cleaning I am more than happy to answer for it.
    I am also willing to tell you what methods can work and what methods should be avoided. The internet is full of fake, inappropriate methods which make more damage than anything else.
    Ask, and I tell you, it is so simple. :)
    1 bid - 10 coins
    2 bids - 20 coins
    3 bids - 30 coins
    Post is combined if needed, please wait for the invoice. Up to 50 coins (5 lots) the post is the same as 1 lot, the basic fee.  Above 50 the post is 14 usd.
    Photos are made from about 20 cm, this is the "normal" view of the coins. You can see more details if you use scanner or enlarge the photos.
    Most of the coins are originated from the Pannonian area, therefore they have Siscia mint in the biggest majority, although some other mints can also be found, they should be checked.
    I do combine shipping, postal fee is calculated according to the weight.
    (Usually it is the same under 50 gr)
    I always calculate the best combined shipping cost if you buy mo
