[QUOTE="TIF, post: 3188658, member: 56859"]Hooray, the curse is broken! :D That is one well-traveled set of tokens! Andres mailed it to me from the Netherlands in early March. Despite being properly addressed, it was delivered to the wrong country-- only 15 miles away from me but still the wrong country. Eventually it was sent on its way again and I received it July 31st. We selected Erin as the new recipient and I repackaged the tokens, added a few coins, and sent it on its merry way. Erin and I both watched the tracking. It arrived in Miami and then departed Miami... and was heading backwards! Eventually it landed in my PO box. Apparently, when sending a package to an international destination, initials aren't allowed. Names of senders and recipients have to be fully spelled. I had used only the initial of my first name so the package was rejected by the customs and sorting center in Miami :(. Who knew?? In their [B]six month journey[/B] Erin's tokens visited the Netherlands, New York, Miami, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, British Virgin Islands, and Canada... some locations multiple times. Good luck with the non-ancient large bronze (or copper) coin. I didn't know where to look to identify it. Surely someone on CoinTalk can peg it or narrow it down.[/QUOTE]
