Done, had a look at their 2014 financial report. 3,697,000,000 units per year and about 57,000 reports of items which were delivered late (after 30 days), damaged or stolen.

Now it's your turn to provide data.

 

Not sure for Malta, but usually customs clearance causes the longest delays. What was the declared value?

 

I paid $40. for the coin but I put a declared value of $15. and that it was a reproduction medal, made in Italy.

 

They shouldn't hold a $15 item, but you never know...

Marking packages is always problematic...I like "medallion" or "stamped metal part"

 

LOL, I like the "stamped metal part". Note to self for future use. I put down "reproduction medal".

It's rare for me to return a coin, and of all places Malta

 

It's not in the 2014 financial report there is no loss to there post office for in coming mail
look at the comments in mail lost and stolen at and after customs

 

D'oh. Done here. @serafino please let us know if it works out in the end

 

I will and thanks to all the members that were so helpful in providing useful information and their own experiences.

That's what makes this forum so great.

 

Just a follow up, the seller received the fake coin I shipped back and issued me a full Paypal refund with shipping.
He did the right thing
