Thanks for the orders. I just had the slowest two months since 2005. I appreciate the business.

Sorry to hear that Joe. I think the stronger US dollar may have something to do with it. I know for me it costs an addition 25% with the exchange when just last year it was almost at par.

Hi, Joe

not a very big one (sorry to hear from the sales side, Joe : seems to be quite spread out). A very lovely portrait for Geta as Caesar just bought today from Forum and cannot wait to disclose it (hoping that those - sometimes - "bloody" Post Offices/customs don't play tricky games). Rarely seen such a lovely portrait.

Pierre,
Sorry it actually come out of the UK I guess its heading back after a visit to the US

labienus · « **Reply #557 on:** September 03, 2015, 10:37:59 am »

No need to be sorry at all.
Being married to a British allows both of us to be immune vs the stupid Brit/French bashing.
Your coin (well mine actually) is really lovely.

Hi all, I just purchased this from the Forvm shop. I am very excited and am greatly anticipating receiving this coin. It will occupy a place of honour in my 12 Caesars collection.

I have been hoping to find a Caligula denarius and when one popped up earlier today I had to have it. I was resigned to having the Vesta as my Caligula, but now I am well on the way to having all 12 in silver. Now I still need Tiberius, Galba, Titus, and Domitian.

Thanks to Joe for operating such a great place to buy coins.

It is on a rolling scroll but I liked when it was permanently fixed at the top right corner.

What I do find is that even when clicking on "Recent Additions" the new coins don't always show up. I see that there is an Otho added today on the left hand list but I can't find it on the right hand side, no matter how many pages I go through...same with the Julia Titi.

I saw the Caligula listed early this morning and knew it would go fast. Good catch orfew! It's a good thing I only collect Flavians!

Joe Sermarini · « **Reply #568 on:** September 23, 2015, 04:33:28 pm »

Just finished adding Domitian coins. Quite a few rare ones.

Under “ My FORVM “ , I see the “WISH LIST “

But it used to be a “ WANT LIST “ which is not available at least on my FORVM.

I have been waiting years to get one from my
favorite store FORVM .

Thank you

Well, I don't have any of them stashed in the back. I am sure one will come through Forum again eventually, but I can't predict what will come our way.

Sam · « **Reply #573 on:** September 24, 2015, 07:22:27 am »
