    As a new coin collector, I was recommended to Ancient Imports. They answered all the questions I sent them, even those unrelated to the product. They sent the product as soon as I ordered it, with a fine pouch for each. They also sent additional coins for free. I had no problem with them. They also have great prices. Do not hesitate to order from them.

    Just received a Carthage AE 18 4th C BCE horse head/ palm from Marc. I have purchased several coins from Marc over the years. Always a great experience. Tritto.

    If I posted every coin I've bought from Ancient Imports here, it would just be to much. I love them. They are one of my favorite dealers.

    Marc is one of my favorite dealers. Nice guy with fair prices. Below is my most recent purchase from him.

    What the heck, here's a small sample of what I've bought from them over these past few years.

    Marc is a total boss. :cool:

    I got the Shekel of Tyre that I sold to my brother at a crazy deal compared to others I've seen. My bro has since bought more coins from him. Some of his coins are on my wish list too.

    I almost forgot, this is my latest buy from Ancient Imports. They are going on Vcoins in this condition for $150+. I got it from Ancient Imports for $85.

    Tip: Buy directly from them and not their Vcoins store. The coin was listed on Vcoins for $95 (they got to cover their Vcoins fees, I guess). Buying directly from them will always save you a few bucks.

    I thought Vcoins sellers only paid a a startup price + a monthly fee of around around $70?

    Not sure, but I've noticed other Vcoins dealers, who also host their own independent websites, price their coins a little more on Vcoins than on their own websites. For example, another of my top favorite dealers, Civitas Galleries, also does that.

    I have bought many coins from Marc over the years. He is indeed a great person to do business with, and a fine gentleman.
