At just $1 each for a bunch of attractive specimens from a very reputable seller, it is a no-brainer.

I was floored when I learned how cheap these can be. I periodically buy them to mix into other lots--they "look" old and help to get a lot of attention. I think my cheapest was a lot of 8 for $2.99

I still haven't sprung for a "nice" one yet... I kept two examples that are very acceptable, but still have knots of very thick patina.

I'll second though--good price and trustworthy seller. If only those nice Indian coins were more reasonably priced!

In their time of manufacture, these things were made in industrial quantities!
Now, if you can get known genuine examples for $5 or less each, you are doing OK.

Genuine contemporary LRB's can be had from $5 and up.
I prefer these: they provide much more variety, with a much greater and interesting field of study.
The ancient equivalent of LWC's!
'Late Roman Bronze Coinage', (112 pages), by Carson, Hill & Kent is the study guide reference for these.

The cheapest I ever got was 300-400 for $20, but they were all low-grade, mostly clipped, and had a thick patina. I'm about to buy another lot of 36 very nice sprcimens for $15.

The written history of the Han stories of a vault that was overflowing with strings (100 coins in a string) of Wu Zhu coins. They are very common.
