Very cool giveaway. I think my Hadrian sestertius is tops for me. [ATTACH] These postcards are bittersweet for me. The messages are happy and...
Nice one. I recently picked up a similar Pontos coin in the same price range. Looks like you received a better deal. ;) [ATTACH]
I have a tet and dupondius to add to the misfit pile. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Unfortunately this is what these sellers bank on. You should get a full refund and use it for the next authentic purchase! Best of luck friend.
What a set @Deacon Ray it looks amazing presented together like that. Generally I’m not a filling holes kind of collector but the 5 Good...
@Carthago nailed my only suggestion. Make sure you use those sites to check prices. Just realize that pricing isn’t always consistent with...
Holding_History has a variety of Ancient to modern auctions. I’ve made a purchase with this vendor and it was a good experience. [ATTACH]

Unfortunately, I’ve noticed this too. We should really start a Vcoins appreciation thread sharing our favorite vendors who offer quality, value,...
Is he a friend? I’m jealous of all the great stuff he’s listing. Lots of cool Greek bronze and early Roman Empire.
I’ve only started browsing there recently. As I scroll it’s nearly all junk, fake, junk, junk, relic, fake, replica. One guy from Forvm Ancient...
It’s not something I would have noticed right away either. Very cool find.
If many are like me they started on CoinTalk in US Coins or Bullion and were drawn to the Ancients out of curiosity. CT Ancients will probably...
Money well spent. This thread was a good reminder.
This is a timely thread as I just won my first auction. Lucius Verus has some deposits on the reverse but I liked the overall coin. I don’t know...
You picked a great forum @Clavdivs to begin your journey. I’m new as well and have been collecting ancients for about 9 months. Lots of knowledge...
