I reported the post, not that I'm confident anything will be done.
Yeah, that's me. Before you ask, I have no idea what the controversy was. If anybody wonders, The Other Side column in The Celator is me too....

Being in the US, you won't have to worry about the VAT. Since it's Internet only, they're not charging the Internet fee for this sale. Edit: I...
The two Getas could be a bit less I suppose; if I were pricing them, I'd be around $150. Same ballpark. The Hadrian is a great coin, fairly...
Perhaps the OP could give a few examples? Phil Davis
