AETHER Posted July 23 · Member Share Posted July 23 Hi, Just wanted to share why I continue to order coins from Incitatus Coins @ vcoins. I have ordered 18 coins from Steve, always 100% happy. A while ago I ordered a bronze coin of Tiberius with a lovely portrait. It came with a few specs of green on it, on an otherwise brown/bronze coin and I thought nothing of it at first. I noticed recently that the green has progressed and oh nooo its flaky! Yup its BD. and I was gutted (I may have cried a little). I reach out to Steve and he told he will gladly treat the coin for me and ALL his customers. SUPER. Just wanted to mention the great service from one of my favorite VCoin sellers. I have yet to send the coin in, but will jump on it this week. Cheers 7 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPK Posted July 23 · Supporter Share Posted July 23 One of my favorite dealers, too! Glad to hear that you are able to work things out with your coin. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerosmyfavorite68 Posted July 24 · Member Share Posted July 24 Yes, I've always enjoyed buying from him as well. Other than the execrable Tuck Tape I'm a pretty happy camper. The tape isn't *too* much of a problem if the coin is a regular one, but I worry about trying to extract fragile coins from the tomb. I have just received an order which I'm very happy with. Do you happen to have a seller/initial picture of how the coin was when purchased? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not on the picture. It's around the neck area, where it looks like I guess BD was treated before. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
