Some comments on the last lot of True Premium coins I received: I ordered these on a Thursday and received them Saturday; I'm 3/4 across the country from California, don't know how they manage to ship so quickly but whatever it is, keep it up! Now for the coin details: out of the first 20 coins 10 were common, 3 were rated scarce, 3 were rated rare, 2 were rated rare 3, 1 was rated rare 5 and the last was an extremely rare coin of Crispus with BEATATRANQVILLITAS reverse not in RIC; turned out to be a local imitative issue, Bastien #84 with an approximate value of $150. The customer service is excellent (as always), Kevin even took the time to help me confirm an attribution I had been having trouble with (thanks again!).

O.K. What's the deal with the modern coins showing up in these lots? I've recently found an Austrian half kreutzer from 1782, an unidentified European coin from the 1950's and a U.S. wheat penny from 1920 in these coins. That being said there are still good coins in these lots. My last few lots included lots of radiates (half or more) and some larger coins (AS/ Sestertius) with the rest being Constantinian or later. The highlights of these lots include several Constantinian AE3's rated scarce to rare 4, some scarcer radiates and hidden under the dirt was a silver Denarius of Maximinus I (Thrax) in VF! I also found a Constantine I VLPP from Lugdunum with the mint mark P (Two seated captives back-to-back) L, fully silvered in VF. The customer service is excellent as always, fast responses and fast shipping. Thanks Kevin!

True Premium coins are always a fun grab bag. You will get a variety of coins mostly antoninianus and reduced size follis in my experience. Sometimes you get a silver coin, I got a Philipus in my last purchase, and an Alexander Severus denarius a while before that. The coins will most often be in great shape even if they are solidly coated in mud, just be patient! As far as the As and Sestertius go, my experience is that they will be very worn and hard to read but, in my opinion, $6 for one of those is worth it. I would say that 7 of 8 coins will be good to great. BUY THE FIBERGLASS PENS.

Great experience with these coins. Generally, you will receive a mix of larger 4th century coins and many mid to late 3rd century antoninianus, occasionally you will find something from earlier. In my last lot I found a fantastic Aurelianvs with nearly fully intact silver! It was difficult to clean and took a lot of patience which made great fun. I also found a Probus with similarly intact silvering but nearly all blackened and beautiful. These are some sweet coins. I generally use a bamboo skewer, then needle in the pin vice sold here, switch to the diamond dremel tool in the vice, and throughout use the fiberglass pen before waxing (Also lots of soaking in DW).

5/5 for seller communication. Kevin was very friendly and quick to reply to emails to help with everything. 5/5 for coin quality, these coins are much better than premium coins I have bought from other websites, the patina is nice, the minting is very deep with details sharply exposed. The coins are dirty but it is clear to see that features are bursting to come out, and they will be very nice pieces when cleaned up. 6/5 for value. I don't think there is a better deal out there for high-quality uncleaned coins.

Highlights from my last few lots of True Premium Coins: A fairly good mix of Radiates, some Tetrarchy and Constantinian with a few later. Better items included Tacitus from Lugdunum/ Lyons; Salonina from Rome mint (Double struck); Vetranio from Siscia AE2 "CONCORDIAMILITUM"; Valentinian I with double struck legend on obverse and finally a very rare coin of Constantine I not in RIC with an unlisted bust type (K3). Information on this coin was found in "NOT IN RIC" and shows a previous sale of $625! Thanks to Kevin for the awesome customer service!
