    £20 Worth it for 'higher cost coins'. Blasts through customs (had this experience several times), and you know it reaches your doorstep.

    I have used fedex for reliable overnite shipments for YEARS in business (prototypes, development samples, etc.) all over the globe. I rarely had import/export and customs issues. Usually were able to resolve fairly quickly. Worth the price in many cases.

    Nice example Alegandron! I got some Carthage-mint coins but they are far removed from this time period.

    The Roman order for the Siege of Carthage was: Kill them ALL... so there was no bickering or arguing...
