[QUOTE="scarborough, post: 3660872, member: 93146"]1. Can I ask collector colleagues – particularly from Canada – if they’re ever heard that the Austrian mail service will not accept coin shipments, in my case to Canada? 2. I’m also interested in hearing how fellow collectors who are away from home during the day receive their purchases. 3.

Any insight would be welcome. Thank you.[/QUOTE]
