<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AussieCollector, post: 4328346, member: 81093&quot;]Hi all, my apologies for the delay in posting an update here. I have been thinking about this coin and thread on and off for weeks now. My work has been incredibly busy with events that are affecting us all in some, way, shape of form. I hope you&#039;re all well and staying safe.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I have some good news, some bad news, and some good news. A bit of a proverbial sandwich really.</p><p><br /></p><p>The good news is, that the coin has arrived. Here it is sitting next to its soon to be friends.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1098575[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The bad news is that not all of the coin made it. Somehow, somewhere, some pieces were lost in the journey from one side of the world to the other. We both spent many hours searching, but to no avail. It&#039;s really heartbreaking.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1098579[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The good news is that if you&#039;re going to lose some pieces on a coin, I am a solid choice to send it to. Unlike many, I&#039;m not too fussed about scratches, graffiti, wear and tear, and yes - even missing pieces on a coin. What the coin represents in terms of a period in history is so much more important to me than whether it&#039;s in perfect condition. And, let&#039;s face it, the important pieces of the coin are here anyway.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, this weekend, I will fuse the coin back together with superglue. I am using superglue because it can be easily reversed, and if a future custodian of this lovely piece of history has a better idea on how to restore it, they can.</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s all for now, and I&#039;ll post an update soon.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cheers</p><p><br /></p><p>AC[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
