I just purchased some coins from the Vcoins site. The first I've ordered from any of the shops. These coins come from two different shops. All of them, except for the Constantius I Chlorus is under $10 in price. With the exception of one coin, I'm going to have to wait close to a month to receive. Let's see how it goes. I haven't had much luck receiving coins lately from overseas. lol  Constantius Gallus  Constantius I Chlorus  Crispus  Licinius II  Maximianus  Probus  Islamic Ummayed Fils I had a few dollars left, so I decided to get this coin. |

Looks like your collection is filling up nicely. Great coins, but I particularly like the Constantius I Chlorus. Nice left facing bust. Congrats.

Very nice group of coins. With a little soaking they will clean up nicely.

Nice group! I really like the toning on a few; are you going to to clean the Probus or leave as-is. I'm waiting for a group of coins from Europe too--I'm not the patient type.  |

Thanks. Yes, my collection has been filling up nicely. There are still quite a few Romans that I can get that won't be too high in price.
DVC:
I'm definitely planning on soaking the Probus along with Licinius II. The Crispus looks like it might have a couple bronze disease spots. I'll take a look at it when I receive and figure out what to do. But I'll probably try to brush off the green stuff and then soak in distilled water.

Most of those coins are coming from United Arab Emirates. So, it's going to take awhile because it's overseas and security reasons as well. I did get registered mail for the order.

A very nice selection of 'honest' coins Gil-galad, a good range of patinas and enough wear on them to show they were used but still enough detail left to enjoy. These are exactly the kind of coins I look for  I too like the Chlorus coin, its different from most of the other Genio pops style-wise. |

Nice coins I almost bought the licinius II when I bought my coins from this seller. This is where I bought my wolf and twins coin that I cleaned.

Nice group. Looks like I wasn't the only one that was busy. The seller you got the Constantius I from is where I got my Constantinopolis commem from Alexandria.
