  1. I enjoy the podcast greatly, specifically Aaron's experience and stories, Mike is fine.

    I fell asleep last night about half way through it, will have to rewatch. 

    I think slabbed coins make a great gift for new comers, and if they wanna pry it out, they can.

    That's a nice portrait of Caligula. Provincial Caligulas are the way to go. they don't come on the market often, but they usually are in pretty nice shape for great prices.

    Got an example??

  3. Since I dont have the funds for a good example, I picked up this budget Caligula VESTA As, the bust is recognizable and the legends are there, looks better in hand, happy to add em, even if it's on the uglier side.

  5. Absolutely you should have been notified, even prior to winning. If you run an auction before a holiday you decide to take, it is your responsibility to notify anyone bidding that they will have a significant delay in shipment if they win. The only logical reason for them not making anyone aware is because it would affect some users not bidding to avoid the wait time.  I also would not buy or accept the reasoning that they assumed everyone was aware of the holiday, especially if the auction was open to international bidding. 

    Good luck, I am sure you will get your coin, its just a shame there was non existent fine print.
