So, 99,99% of the people with money in pre-communist Bulgaria were imbeciles with zero class? I am no fan of modern Bulgarians, but I still don't think that was the case, because if it was, it would have also been done with other Bulgarian coins, but other than with the coins of these two monarchs, you can find more or less any Bulgarian coin you want that was never holed, so to me the logical conclusion is that the desecration of their coins was an organized effort, and the only group that would have any interest in that are the Bulgarian communists.
This is rare: https://auktionen.sincona.com/en-us/auctions/lots/170079?$goto=170079&auc_id=201 Hopefully somebody will put in a bid higher than my 500 CHF one, because it looks likely that I will need those 500 CHF to win all the 3 coins (unfortunately, I had only noticed the third one after I had already put in a bid for this one) that I actually want to win.
That would be nice, but I am not worried about other bidders per se, I am worried about my credit limit, meaning that I am worried that I will lose one of the coins I want over 50 or 100 or 200 CHF.

I would not get it from him. I ordered and fully paid 7 gold coins from him. He still has not sent my coins I must have sent him photo copies of bank wires 5 times/ still have never got my paid for coins.....
I am sad to read that. I bought 2 coins from him, the Sassanid Gold Dinar of Shapur II and the Empire of the Romans Gold Solidus of Maurice Tiberius, they were both shipped within a few days, but I paid with PayPal, and when you pay with PayPal, the seller receives the money within seconds, your experience just furthers my conviction to avoid paying for coins with international bank wire transfers.
I always liked best send bank drafts/cheques. Wires cost me $45 @ time/ sometimes banks on receiving end charges extra fees! But/ when a dealer gets the $$$$ they should return favor by sending coins.
I prefer to pay by PayPal, everything is done within 10 seconds and they take buyer protection seriously, plus I don't have to needlessly waste probably 2 hours of my life by driving to the bank, trying to find parking somewhere close, then walking to the bank, then waiting in line at the bank, then with zero privacy (at Croatian banks business like this is conducted with dozens of people being a few meters behind you) explaining what I want them to do, then waiting for them to find someone who knows how to send money abroad, etc.
And what about your money? If he received thousands of EUR and never shipped to the coins, I would think that this would be considered a serious crime in Germany.
I think I will try again to have MA-shops resolve this. I have the invoices + the photo copies of wires going into his bank acct. Its over 5K euros!

I am sorry ya'll, this is the exact reason I don't buy unless the coin is in my hands at the time of purchase. That would piss me off. You are braver than I. Sorry to hear this Panzerman.
