<p>[QUOTE=&quot;nerosmyfavorite68, post: 25445068, member: 134416&quot;]I hate to &#039;like&#039; some of the unfortunate experiences; it&#039;s more of a commiseration.</p><p><br /></p><p>The slab probably didn&#039;t help either, making it stick out.&nbsp; 100% of my other purchases were raw coins.&nbsp; Other than a rare mauling, I don&#039;t have problems with ancients sent via 1st class. I had a coin snapped in two, but that was due to the dealer not following packing best practices.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was so excited to pick it out but excitement turned to frustation after about two weeks of waiting.&nbsp; Now I&#039;m just over it.&nbsp; It&#039;s not as devastating as the snapped Nero, although this cost almost twice as much (the Nero was decrepit and cheap for the type), but it&#039;s annoying.</p><p><br /></p><p>Vcoins&#039; well-known customer-to-dealer communication bug is partly responsible.&nbsp; I had wanted first class, and wrote about 4 emails requesting such.&nbsp; The only options were priority (and I had 90% negative experiences with that) or registered.&nbsp; Once the dealer contacted me communication was set up and he seems to be ok.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Vcoins also doesn&#039;t have much of a U.S. coin selection. If I had to do it over again I would have just chosen something from Numiscorner, the French dealer.&nbsp; Theirs were less nice and they had no rainbow toners in that price range, but at least it would have gotten there.&nbsp; They also weren&#039;t slabbed.&nbsp; Shipping also would have cost less.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also didn&#039;t know about Dad&#039;s concurrent purchase at the LCS.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll let it wait another month and then I&#039;ll request a refund.&nbsp; He&#039;s been keeping in touch, enquiring if I received it and giving updates from his enquiries.</p><p><br /></p><p>I endeavor to do my own diligence by doing my own search form and contacting a postmaster general or relevant official.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
