I would go around souvenir shops. There are often very inexpensive coins and in very poor condition. Usually they are sold in sets and decorated with colored cardboard with drawings of the country. And yes, as you said, they are all wrapped with tape or even glued to it with glue.

That reminds me .... Framing coins ... By literally gluing them onto felted cardstock ... Is very very common here....

My first post I have a very high tolerance for cleaned old coins. I primarily collect or hoard foreign silver and appearance is important. I would not ever clean a numismatic significant coin but previous work is fair game. It's my hobby and enjoyment is the plan

@Bbe... Are you a new collector? I am and I have bought a few cleaned coins at slightly over melt; I figure it's worth it to handle and learn more ...
