[QUOTE="ArtDeco, post: 25390171, member: 119259"]I won a few coins on Jesus Vico before and they're a known dealer based in Spain. Unlike some dealer firms in Spain, Jesus Vico actually follows the country's export laws and guidelines. They have to go on a waiting period to request export liscenses for each individual coin which took me about a few months. I did have a problem with one coin that was shipped from Spain which I bought from Vcoins that went into ISC NEW YORK customs processing center since January 26 this year and is still stuck there without any updates in tracking. The postal carrier they used was Correos Espana, the tracking just says ISC NEW YORK and no updates since. There is no number to call for ISC NEW YORK. I've had some Spain-based Vcoin dealers send me coins that didn't have the proper export liscenses with no issues but this coin was the last straw for me. It is not worth the gamble to purchase coins from Spain when they do not go through the proper process of exporting ancient coins. Up until now I did not consider that the problem with my coin could be related to export laws, I just simply thought that the small package was lost somewhere in the sorting facility. Perhaps my coin is under investigation for artifact smuggling since it did not have the proper export liscense for it. I'm still looking for a way to contact ISC NEW YORK so I can get this all sorted out, the coin is not horribly expensive thankfully. It is a Republican Denarius with Concordia on the Obv and L. Aemilius Paullus with three captives on the Rev.[/QUOTE]
