So I'm bored and have too much time on my hands and want to try something new... Where to buy unclea

So where's a good place to buy uncleaned ancient coins? Anyone know?

I have a little homemade electrolysis tub for cleaning them (Have also gone the olive oil route in the past), just want a reputable supplier that doesn't rape you on the cost for what ends up being crud.

Thanks!

I bought a lot off eBay a few years back, but can't remember who I got 'em from.

They're fun.

There is a Yahoo group for uncleaned coins that I subscribed to a while back. I don't know if they are still active, or if I quit to decrease the e-mail volume. Go to www.Yahoogroups.com and search on "uncleaned coins". Also the "Moneta" coin group might be good for a post asking your question. However, I think you will might get the good dealers as well as the bad dealers here.

See if you can find the collectors that have done this before. They'll be far less likely to give you a line of bull****.
