Uncleaned coins are ones that have not been cleaned. In modern coins it means they may have original surfaces or may be toned due to the air reacting on the medals. With ancient coins it means they are exactly as found in the ground and may be dirty or have oxidation on them.The oxidation causes a Green or blue patina on them. Soil with acid in it could actually have eaten some of the coin away. Late Imperial means coins near the end of the Roman Empire, long after Julius Cesar. Coins minted usually after 200 AD or there abouts to the end of the Western Roman Empire. Hope this answers your question?

I don't know what "late imperal coin" means, but I know that an unclean coin is a coin that has dirt or mold on it.

Late Imperial Coin would be Late Julius Ceasar from Rome coin. They are not that expensive because they are are so plentiful.
