The delivery took quite a while, but this has nothing to do with the saler. I am very happy with my purchase, having a real piece of history in my home is really cool. The little display case looks nice and sturdy.

Coin is very beautiful. Five stars.
All perfect packaging and excellent delivery times. It was a real pleasure
The button arrived upside down in the display case so I had to open it up and fix it before gifting. Other than that everything was great! Neat gift.
Fast shipping, the coin came with COA and was exactly as pictured! Thank you!

Amazing! I love both the coins I got from here!! I can’t wait to give them to their recipients for Christmas!
The Coin and case is awesome! The only additional thing that could make it perfect would be a little description of what/who the coin faces represent and possibly where the specific coin was found. Otherwise very content
