[QUOTE="nerosmyfavorite68, post: 8291211, member: 134416"]There's a happy ending! Sooo, it looks like DHL outsources at least some of their packages to German Post. Slow, but that's a much better (for me) option than straight DHL. The coin was packed really well and my inexpensive guinea pig is beautiful :D:joyful:. I never had any doubts about the dealer or the quality of teh coin; I just have been so burned by private shippers that I was very skittish. The coin was around 130 Euros. I wonder what the threshold of outsourcing is? I think I might still have to send a gold coin to a trusted dealer and have him mail it to me. Knowing my luck the gold coin would be sent straight DHL and dumped at the door. But so far DHL is 1/1. But I'm now at ease in ordering coins up to a certain price from the dealer. I don't have to outsource that. I also don't have to be nervous; I'll just expect it to take a while. [ATTACH=full]1465655[/ATTACH] Now we'll see if teh Netherlands comes through. I didn't know exactly what to expect from the Gordian Sestertius; whether it would be aqua or not. It's a glossy jade green patina, really quite nice for 130 Euros. A pretty nice test subject. :cool: That deserves an elated mood.[/QUOTE]
