I bought a solidi from their last floor auction and will post how the sale went. I have been buying from ROMA for the last 8 years and shipping via DHL has always been spot on and clearing customs in Switzerland in no time…

I have been buying from Roma for the last 8 years , mainly solidi , I too have been wondering about the plastic in the black Roma holders, so far it does not seem to affect the coins. Regarding their troubles , I hope they can pull through as they are a great auction house to work with. Their e-sales are definitely more affordable , the higher prices are all over…Have you noticed the DHL rates have gone up…I won a solidi from the mare nostrum hoard in the last floor auction and I will keep members posted on how the sale goes.

I have been buying mainly solidi from Roma from the last 8 years, I live in Switzerland and have never had any issues with shipping or clearing the customs. I manage to secure a solidi of barbaric mint from the mare nostrum hoard, I must admit I had my doubts due to the turmoil with R.Beal but the sale went well. I have read a lot of comments on the prices some coins fetch but because I buy all over Europe I would say it is a general tendency , A nice solidi selling 350 to 400 € 6 years ago will now fetch 600 € , nevertheless one can still find good deals in smaller auctions. Byzantine solidi are still great value for money . Just to end with the Roma saga , I must admit, and I am not the only one, I have always been surprised with the quality and abundance of coins on offer from day 1….
