<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Justin Lee, post: 3605865, member: 87404&quot;]Thanks, everyone! </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Great coins! Vespasian looks so happy and jovial on that obverse! </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m definitely have to do that... I&#039;ve only read a bit of what&#039;s on Wikipedia and a few other summarized sources. Do you have any good sources for more info into this war? </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>First, very nice coin, Nathan! I want to read on more detail what occurred during their time in Messana... And suggested areas to explore? </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>First, Kate at CNG was very helpful and responsive (within hours). They had a Vcoins generic payment portal that I was able to use to pay my invoice with CC (no fees). They are located in Pennsylvania. You can do wire transfers and using TransferWise is the best I&#039;ve used for international rates and conversion (by a lot!). The buyers premium is decent at 18% and, for me at least being in US, the shipping was great at $11 and includes insurance and signature. The sale ended the 3rd, I took a couple days to pay, and they shipped a day or two after that and shipping took about 4 days (again, domestic shipping). </p><p><br /></p><p>So if you bought coin(s) totaling $200 (USD) + $36 BP + $11 S/H = $247 paid... In comparison to other auctions (<a href="https://www.amcoinscanada.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.amcoinscanada.com/" rel="nofollow">AMCC</a> aside, cuz they obviously are better) very reasonable!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I do enjoy that patina! And that&#039;s a nice coin to find in a lot! What else was in the lot?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks, Z! Very nice SA! So much great design going for it... It&#039;s take a while just staying to take it all in! And tells a lot about the history and daily life of the area. I wonder if this obverse design inspired Julian II?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
