<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jdmKY, post: 7670759, member: 115308&quot;]I never thought my follow-up would be this late, but the ending is a happy one!</p><p><br /></p><p>BACK STORY - The provenance of my EID MAR begins with the 1917 Hess auction of the Johann Horsky Collection. Several years ago, I decided to try to acquire an original of that catalog as well as the other 3 auction catalogs that include my coin. I was excited when I saw one of the Hess catalogs in an auction a couple of years ago. I bid aggressively (I thought) but lost.</p><p>Thinking I had missed my only chance, I couldn’t believe that Solidus had another one in an auction in January. This time I bid VERY aggressively and won!</p><p><br /></p><p>THE SAGA - I was somewhat concerned when I read the post by [USER=110350]@DonnaML[/USER] but was happy when I received a tracking update from USPS which had received the DHL shipment. My catalog was going to arrive on February 2nd! Only it didn’t. Nor did it arrive on March 2nd. So I started pestering the USPS to no avail. Imagine my surprise when it showed up - after 5 1/2 months!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1318003[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Now if I can only find the other catalogs I need![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
