<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 4285244, member: 110350&quot;]Thanks, and I do hope you&#039;re right.&nbsp; I think my level of concern (wholly apart from the potential loss of the money I paid) is directly tied to how much I was looking forward to receiving this coin, and my level of my disappointment if I never do.&nbsp; (Especially since the one other time I filed a missing mail report, a number of years ago, I never heard anything, and that seems to be a common experience.)&nbsp; I&#039;d been looking for an example of this coin type to buy for a while before I settled on this one -- the majority of examples I see are badly off-centered or otherwise seriously flawed -- and was really quite excited about this one, in a way that I&#039;m sure many of you can understand.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, in case it does turn out that the package was lost or stolen, I&#039;m going to post a description of the coin together with the seller&#039;s photo, so if any of you ever happens to see the particular coin for sale in the future, you&#039;ll know that it was supposed to be mine, and was stolen.&nbsp; And if the package does arrive, well, I&#039;ll be happy to know that I overreacted!</p><p><br /></p><p>Roman Republic, L.
