<p>[QUOTE="scottishmoney, post: 427080, member: 12789"]Wowza, that deal <i>smells</i> disturbingly sounds like mine. I sent a load of Texas, California, and Michigan plates to someone in Spain, and yes, the postage was rather egregious, like $20 or something, but I did get some coins in return, but... they were decidedly snarfy and looked as though they had been fired as grape shot. In essence I got a $5 pile of junk box coins for that trade. And yeppers, last I was on that other venue, he was still an occasional visitor and poster there.</p><p><br /></p><p>But not all is bad in Iberia, the Portuguese coin you mentioned that I sent you came from another trader in Portugal, and he tries hard to best you in what is sent<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. I have gotten quite a type set of early 20th century Portuguese coins, and some wonderful surprises from him. I have a whole bunch of the 4 Centavos coins from 1917-1919 including several die break progression varieties. It is one of my favourite coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
