[QUOTE="Gallienus, post: 24482458, member: 42034"]I bought 2 Roman Coins from them at auction. One I particularly care about as it's a superb denarius showing an Astronomical event. Here's the pix: [ATTACH=full]1549240[/ATTACH] Rome harassed me every day for immediate payment: before I even knew I won the lots. Thus I did a wire transfer immediately to pay them. Then I called to update my shipping address but they told me they already shipped out the coins to my home address but my house was rented out at the time as I was living in an apt in Brazil. The coins never made it and when I called Roma to inquire about them they told me that the coins were returned to them as the British post could not deliver them. We agreed that they would hold the coins until I returned to my permanent address in the US. I had the discussion with Mr. Alex Morley-Smith (no longer w/ Roma) and have some email documentation that Roma told me they had the coins. Then a year later I called them and they told me they couldn't find the coins. I talked with the British Post and they told me the window for filing a lost item notice had expired. I contacted Roma again and Sir. Richard Beale got so aggressive with me that I found it somewhat amusing that the head of a major auction firm could behave so childishly. I assure you that I was never aggressive with Roma staff.[/QUOTE]
