5/5 on everything.
I ordered some reproduction Anglo Saxon coins from Grunal Moneta two weeks ago. Dave replied to my email within a day, and the coins were in the mail the morning after I paid. They shipped from the UK with no issues.
I'm happy with them. I ordered two dozen pewter coins, and the quality is just what the pictures show on the website. I've never ordered any other reproduction coins before, so I can't compare Dave's work to that of any other maker of repro coins. I think the quality's good, and the coins feel 'right' (compared to my Constantine denarius of a similar size).
I also purchased a gold plated late period coin for a friend, and it looks good.
Grunal Moneta's prices are the best I've found for Anglo Saxon pewter coins, and the selection is fantastic. His selection for other periods also looks good, but I didn't pay much attention to it.
