A big package arrived carrying 400ish grots. Mostly grots, anyway. This is low grade stuff, but I only paid low grade rates, so I'm not fussed.

Ive bagged them up into 8 lots of 50 for eventual resale which is how you see them in the picture.

Interesting coins in the lot: 1 silver piece which seems to have gone unnoticed in the lots (ive put this back into the for sale bags as a bit of a motivator), a load of barbarous coins in good condition, 1 early carausius PAX AVG, a nice Claudius II eagle and a couple of 'challenge' coins to keep my IDing skills sharp. Theres also a heavily overcleaned Quadrans.

theres probably about 300 slugs in there. I'm not super heavily invested though - I could sell the packs for £20 a pop without much to do. One has a silver coin in which was totally uncleaned - who knows what that is.

Speaking of silver coins, does anyone know how to get that blast white tone on sikver coins? I'm looking at finally buying an old SAECVLARES coin with nice toning but then whitening it.
