FWIW, I just purchased another coin yesterday in the story from ma-shops. This one was from Vosper, and it promptly shipped this morning. This is...
BTW, just thought I'd mention that I find browsing challenging on ma-shops. The following is how I use vcoins: Several times a day I navigate to...
I can't share the entire story yet, since I don't want to give others ideas and get into bidding wars on the remaining coins. :) I can say that...
As Herodotus mentions, there are lots of fakes of this Athens coin on EBay. Most have a similar weight to your coin, which doesn't go very well....
Just an update. The coin was just shipped. I was extremely excited to buy it (it's an important key to a story I'm working on, and has several...
