Dear, Thank you for your great feedback! I’m glad you’re happy with the coin. It was a pleasure doing business with you, and I look forward to working together again. Warm regards

I recently received my new coin for my collection, and I couldn't be happier! Although it got stuck in UK customs for a bit, they eventually realized it wasn't worth holding on to for long. 👍👍

Thanks a million for your feedback! I’m happy that you like your new authentic and small beauty piece! Yes, the Marcian is the smallest Roman coin in my collection, but still very beautiful and rare:)
