I've bought from that seller a few times, and have had no issues. It just took awhile. But, I haven't bought a single thing, overseas, since before Covid, so things might have changed.

Handsome coins.

That's a B.S. comment. Ancient coins are sometimes used for educational use & I love reading stories on collectors who had a teacher that used a numismatic item as a teaching tool. I know I have learned a lot more about ancient history, thanks to ancient coinage. I continue to learn more each year and I've been collecting ancients for over 25 years.

Couldn't agree more. I've tried the paper flips, and they too are nice, for compact storage, I like to see my coins, not having to flip them in the long box, trying to find a specific one, even though it's labeled. I will say though, I use paper holders for my Byzantine cup coins and some of the more annoying sized coins. I have many world and medieval coins, in paper envelopes. But for ancients, plastic flips are it.

Chinese Cash Coins are some of the most boring coins to collect & even look at. They seem over complicated to learn and they all look the same.

I just tried it and it loaded fine, now, maybe it's been fixed?

Has anyone been able to get on Forgery Network? All I get is a login page. It would be a shame if it's been taken offline, for good.

Beautiful presentation. Wonderful coins too.

Calling for all the fleas so it can hop on the rat and bring on the next plague.

Beautiful, thanks for the article.

Very nice, wonderful patina on it.

I have teh same problem with the cut and paste on here. Very handsome coin. I love it.

Gotta give them credit, where there is $ to be made.🤭
