Memorial service for my lost Thasos Stater

I'm glad that your coin finally arrived!

I had an odd experience recently with a $30 coin shipped from Australia to California.
It spent 10 days in a Los Angeles customs office and then 10 days in Warrendale, PA.
Total transit time was 24 days.

awesome, i'm glad it arrived!

i'm having my first coin issue now. i ordered a couple of coins off an ebay seller based in italy over a month ago. opened a case and inquired about the item and when it had been shipped. seller responded with a tracking number for pakistan post...not italy as was listed as the item location. of course the number doesn't reveal jack...other than the number goes with pakistan post. i'll give it a couple more weeks then escalate the case.

 

Excellent! I'm so happy your ancient porn coin finally arrived! Have you checked the tracking to see if you can tell where it vacationed for August?

A coin from pakistan and those areas can take 2 months, sometimes more. One of my empresses was from there. But it was bought free darn near so worth the wait.

 

Congrats! Glad to hear it finally showed up. Here's my example, not nearly as nice as yours.

 

I've had the same experience with coins from Israel and UAE. The dealers I buy from are legit, so they file for export permission from the antiquities authorities, which sometimes takes a month to process, then the coins can sit in US customs for another month. The longest I've ever had to wait for a coin was three months.

 

NOTE => out of 287 ancient coins, I've only had "1" incident where the coin didn't make it home to Manitoba ... so amazingly, that's 286-outta-287 that have arrived safely => man, that's a pretty sweet battin' average, eh?!!


Again C89, that is fantastic news that your sweet coin finally arrived (it really is a very, very cool example => congrats)

Ummm, and not unlike my trusty coin-comrade zumbly, I feel like I have to expose myself as well!! (so, here is my junk)
