Uncleaned Roman Ancients....

Well I got two different lots in the mail yesterday that totaled 65 coins............
Can't say that I am all that impressed as 90% of these coins are about the size of a hearing aid battery
I didn't expect a lot from these type of auctions but it did raise a few questions for me.
Should I expect a lot of the coins to have no details whats so ever or does that just mean they are still encrusted? I started cleaning them last night...need to go get a few brushes, but I noticed that the majority of the coins seem like the surface was smooth with no details so I am a little concerned that this might be what I should typically expect?
