<p>[QUOTE="Gavin Richardson, post: 5374086, member: 83956"]Let me just go on record by saying that I love VCoins. My first VCoins purchase was in 2005. My most recent was from this morning. I had a fallow period when I didn’t do much collecting for about 10 years, and some of you buy more coins in a month than I do in a year. But still, some 65 coins, and just a few mishaps. A Beast coin got lost in the mail and was fully refunded. A Julius Caesar denarius fake from a Spanish dealer that was fully refunded. I did make two problematic purchases from The Time Machine. In one case the wrong artifact was sent, while the one I really wanted ended up being “not available”; and in the other case, an artifact that I purchased via VCoins interface had been “already sold.” So it seems that particular dealer may have some inventory control problems. But as the great American philosopher Donny Osmond once said, “One bad apple don’t spoil a whole bunch of girls.”</p><p><br /></p><p>So many other transactions have gone off perfectly. This morning I made my first purchase from Roy’s Coins. He just sent me an email (independent of the auto-generated VCoins email) with my USPS tracking info.
