<p>[QUOTE="PipersSpring, post: 2689198, member: 82411"]I've had good luck buying ancients from Italian auctions. No hassles. My last order arrived in 6 days, standard shipping. It was too fast. I hadn't yet prepared my wife for the purchase<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie101" alt=":woot:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Several months ago I purchased a coin that looked fine to me, but NGC said it had tooling. The auction house was more than helpful, didn't argue about the authenticity of the coin and refunded me promptly. It was a thousand dollar coin. They immediately gave me their DHL account, instructions on how to complete the DHL paperwork and had DHL come to my house to ship the package. I had the full refund in a week, and they kept me posted in the meantime. I've also never had any Italian or US government holds on these purchases. Too bad, I have relatives that live in Rome and work for the State Department. I was dying to get to use their clout with the Italian officials, but, no such 'luck'.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
