    Not quite in the mail yet! I just got the order. I'll have it packed in a few minutes! I think it must have been too cheap, it sold literally within a few minutes of listing!

    Stop worrying how many likes your coins get. It's the reason I no longer give you likes. Dude, buy the coins for yourself. Who cares what others think.

    I'll be happy to give you plenty of likes when I see you posting passionately about your coins instead of complaining about how many likes you got.

    Almost all ancient coins have one problem or another. You learn to live with most of them after a while (ie. wear, patina issues, flan cracks, porosity, crystalization, off centering, etc), and those problems that you can't deal with, you learn to avoid (ie. tooling, fake patina, etc).
