<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 5139603, member: 19463&quot;]I sure am glad I looked and found you were in Australia before I asked why you were buying a common coin from Norway but I do not know the state of the hobby and dealer stocks in your country.&nbsp; Maybe Norway is a reasonable place to look for coins even if you are as far from there as you can get.&nbsp; I got mine in person from a dealer/friend as part of a trade hand to hand.&nbsp; I selected mine in milliseconds because it has one of the best Stannard scoops on the reverse and belonged in the collection of someone that considered that a positive rather than a negative.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1205839[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This, of course, was back in the old days of collecting when you could actually sit face to face with someone and not be risking your life or be violating assembly limits.&nbsp; I may never again see that dealer or any other dealer.&nbsp; Who knows?&nbsp; Maybe I should ask for the names of dealers in Norway and get used to waiting four months for delivery.&nbsp; For now, I&#039;m out of the hobby as it is now practiced.&nbsp; I&#039;m not ready for the four month process.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
