Penelope Coins And Collecting

So just who are Penelope Coins And Collecting?

http://penelopecoins.com/

They state they are a group of amateur collectors and they certainly have (or at least display) some rare coins - like two stavrata of Constantine Xi just to start with.

I’m as patient as I can be when dealing with ancient coin collectors and/or dealers because I realise most of them are not always fluent with computers. We shouldn’t be too harsh on them on that account. Their website does have a few teething problems but I have no problems accessing it. There’s nothing to suggest that they are involved in the business of selling ancient coins. In fact, they very specifically state that their coins are not for sale to the public. They are simply a group of ancient coin enthusiasts showcasing their collection. To be honest, I would rather collectors showcase their historical coins than hide them away in cabinets. I see myself as more of a custodian than a collector of ancient coins.

The site has been around since 2009, unchanged.  They advertised that site in The Celator.

The site is registered out of Ontario, Canada.  Except for using Flash, they web site seems fine.

They put their AOL address on the site, why not ask them?
