[QUOTE="dadams, post: 2845277, member: 82194"]With all the show and tell here of early cast RR coinage recently and the thrill of holding a huge AES Grave As in my hands about a month ago I've been keeping a lookout for something to splurge on. I found this [URL='http://www.ebay.com/itm/ROMAN-AES-GRAVE-SEMIS-EARLY-CAST-BRONZE/222623634729?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649']Æ-Semis[/URL] and was well prepared to bid having set my snipe up a few days before the close. The coin looked ok to my eye as legit and I'm pretty certain this is an example of Crawford 21/2 and I felt that I could place a reasonably high enough bid to win but I got cold feet. I noticed after reviewing the item listing again that the item is shipping from the UK through the Global Shipping Program (GSP) administered through Pitney Bowes. In reading through the terms of the GSP once delivery of the item has been made to the local (in-country) GSP destination by the seller all risk passes to the buyer. With title of the coin transferred to me and the MOU laws (which I have read about here) I canceled my snipe with about an hour remaining. I'm a bit disappointed, but more than likely I possibly averted a huge loss. If the coin was moving directly to me from the seller, and not routed through the GSP program, I most likely would have bid. Now I'm thinking I should be more concerned about my past and future coin purchases and wonder if I need take special precautions when buying ancients and especially so for items that may have MOU implications. bummed. -d[/QUOTE]
