<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 2685873, member: 75525&quot;]Pardon the rant. I have bought ancient coins on line for 10+ years. I am aware of the risks of putting my net worth out there for folks to see. I do not advertise on Facebook that I am a coin collector. I am the president of a small coin club, and I use a cell phone (not my home phone) as my contact phone. I know that folks can find me if they want, and I take precautions to make my collection hard to get to by using bank deposit boxes. This week, I have been overwhelmed by spam to my primary e-mail address. The e-mails list my name (or my wife&#039;s name), my home address and offer me a long list if stuff: bullion, jobs, travel deals, instructions for make at home plastic AK-47s, romance and you get the point. How does this tie into coins? This week I bought a horsehead/horsehead cast triens, I think. I have not received a confirmation from the auction that closed last week. I bid on line with one of the companies that handles auctions for several companies, Bid Inside. I have purchased from them before. What I do not remember is the insistence from the web site that I accept the use of cookies by the site. I read their description of how cookies are used by their site, but all I get is that they can suck out as much information as they want. I can not access the English version of the site because it is hidden under the pop-up that wants me to accept cookies. I do not see a link to decline their offer. I have purchased from several companies that insist on cookies, HA for one.</p><p>[ATTACH]601382[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]601383[/ATTACH]&nbsp; My only NGC graded coin. </p><p>I have had ads by HA pop-up on my <u>work</u> computer. I bought the coin at home. I use company screening at work, but they found a way to tell me they had some really nice &quot;early&quot; US bronze coins. </p><p>How does that relate to my recent purchase?</p><p>[ATTACH]601386[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]601387[/ATTACH]&nbsp; </p><p>I suspect that my bill is under the link:</p><p>Asta per Corrispondenza - Aggiudicazioni</p><p>which translates:</p><p>Auction Correspondence - AWARDS</p><p>But the link only shows a black screen, perhaps because it wants me to ok the cookie. I really like the coin, but I refuse to ok the cookie pop-up. This coin should go well with the other (put a name here) X 2 coins: </p><p>Triens - horsehead X2</p><p>Sextans - head of Dioscuri X 2</p><p>Sextans - shell X 2</p><p>Uncia - barley corn X2</p><p><br /></p><p>In case you think I am way out of line. I do like cookies - </p><p>[ATTACH=full]601391[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
