I'm very glad I ordered from Ancient Coin Traders. I had an immediate response to my query on the Constantine coin with ongoing regular email updates as it made it's way to me. I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly it arrived given I live in a rural area. The coin itself is in fantastic condition with the markings clearly visible. The detailed certificate of authenticity really highlights the uniqueness of this piece. I would absolutely shop here again.
