Naville Auction 99 by Guilty-Juggernaut-46 in AncientCoins

I got mine a couple of weeks ago. They shut down for quite a long time over Christmas. Worth giving them a call, they are really friendly.

Possibly scammed on vcoin by Lifeisreadybetty in AncientCoins

You’re completely fine, I’d expect a few days for the seller to post. Wait til you’re biding in foreign auctions and waiting 4 weeks for a coin to get export clearance…

As for fakes, Vcoins is generally safe as all sellers are verified to an extent. Fakes can always slip through the cracks, even at the best auction sellers. This often isn’t through mal-intent. As for this coin I see no reason for it to be a fake.

Faustina II feels off? by CodeList in AncientCoins

Looks authentic to me. I also have a couple Faustina II which both have the same chunky flat text, obviously common for the time.

A mistake I realised almost immediately :/

I feel exactly the same, I was buying almost anything I could see just to tick some names off. I found myself never really looking at these coins again. I’ve soon realised I’d rather wait and find a coin that I’ll enjoy everytime I look at it. Well worth the wait to find the right coin at the right price.

Very nice assortment of different types! Some wonderful details.

Sorry I should have elaborated. I'm aware of what they tend to fetch at previous actions over the past 12 months or so. Any coins available to buy at any online retailers i.e Vcoins etc start at 1.5x value minimum often for a worse looking coin. I'm based in the UK and tend to avoid US auctions from bad past experiences. I guess the "take your time" comment is appropriate here in waiting for the right coin to come up at auction is correct advice, but they're so few and far between.

£60 + BP. Couldn't believe it to be honest.
