David Atherton Posted May 17, 2023 · Member Share Posted May 17, 2023 I was curious if anyone knew what happened to Lodge Antiquities on Vcoins? The shop is gone and their presence on eBay seems to be as well. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPK Posted May 17, 2023 · Supporter Share Posted May 17, 2023 I noticed that too. They had some nice stuff, especially later Roman Empire coins. I bought this Diocletian from Lodge: Another favorite VCoins seller of mine - NeroNumi - also disappeared for awhile but he's back now. Hopefully Lodge Antiquities will return also. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nerosmyfavorite68 Posted May 17, 2023 · Member Share Posted May 17, 2023 Whatever happened to Beast Coins? Beast would sell stuff from UK hoards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steppenfool Posted May 17, 2023 · Member Share Posted May 17, 2023 Lodge Antiquities disappeared for quite a while last year (or maybe the year before?) as well around the same time of year! They've been away from vcoins for around a month or two now. I'm certain when I last checked their eBay it was also offline so perhaps they have began the comeback since that has returned.

Benefactor robinjojo Posted May 17, 2023 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted May 17, 2023 I think at the beginning of this year Vcoins no longer allows the sale of antiquities. Sellers of these items now have their own sites or are using eBay or MA Shops. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last coin I bought from them was my Roman Provincial coin of Severus Alexander showing Asklepios treating the injured paw of a cow or bull, purchased last year. The proprietor was John Cummings. A very nice guy. I hope he's OK. Edited May 17, 2023 by DonnaML 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafydd Posted May 20, 2023 · Supporter Share Posted May 20, 2023 I purchased a coin from them this evening, a Legate XXI denarius to replace my pretty awful example and to take me very close to my complete Fleet set ( inspired by Bing) and everything worked fine and I paid by Paypal as that is so simple. I have purchased from Lodge of many years, they are not inexpensive, but grade accurately and I trust them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
