If you must mark Roman coins, at least do so in Latin. 'Approved' would be PROB according to the 1st century precedent. BON would be 'good'....
Yes, I would buy more coins but many beginners would be confused what to buy. The thing here is that when a seller represents himself as a coin...
It hurts me to say that I no longer trust a vCoins seller just because they are a vCoins seller. I once did. vCoins was sold and they let in...

Until this week I doubted that barbarous was 'not very popular' since I have known several people that collected them but the Triton sale closed...
That Stack's called the coin a sestertius is embarrassing. That is a lot like calling a US large cent a copper half dollar just because it is...

Those of you who are not in the market for a Syracuse, Sicily, dekadrachm of 400 BC can join me in a Syracuse, New York, dekadrachm of 1898 AD...
