I hope it's ok with all of you to share some thoughts on them here. They are both bought through a strict and reputable platform, while the seller offers life time certificate of authenticity and <a href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=provenance" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=provenance" rel="nofollow">provenance</a>.
