What’s the top image, is it some Microsoft x-windowing system?
I always love these behind the scenes pictures :-)
Are you okay? Would you like a drink of water?
I live in the states. As for how I acquire them, there are three major dealers in uncleaned coins: dirty old coins, nero coins, and noble roman coins. They have good reputations and you’ll get authentic coins from them, though their descriptions of the condition of the coins and ease of cleaning them are borderline fraud. That being said the more you pay per coin the better shape they’ll be, if your just starting out go with the cheapest… you’ll make mistakes and its best to make a mistake with a poor quality coin than a high quality coin. I’ve read that several shops on vcoins sell uncleaned lots but I haven’t had much success finding unclean coins on there. If you’re thinking about making a purchase make a post on here about it and we can discuss what you’re likely to get and talk strategies on cleaning them.
I don’t buy my coins from eBay. When i was doing my initial research i leaned buying from eBay requires expertise and experience to reduce the changes of falling for a scam. There are three major dealers in uncleaned coins. They’ve got decent reputations and you’re not going to get scammed. Though they’re descriptions of the state of the coins are hyperbole and should be taken with a grain of salt and they say the coins aren’t picked through but going off how true the descriptions are I don’t believe it. However, you do get authentic unclean coins from them… so to play it safe go with them. The 3 dealers are dirty old coins, nero coins, and noble roman coins. The more you pay per coin the better shape they’ll be, if your just starting out go with the cheapest… you’ll make mistakes and its best to make a mistake with a poor quality coin than a high quality coin.
