[QUOTE="TIF, post: 2027853, member: 56859"]It's a Thanksgiving miracle! The Doson tetradrachm arrived. Baldwin's initiated a trace on November 11 but I never heard anything more from them or from Royal Mail. On a whim I checked USPS earlier this week and it had finally popped up! The stamps on the envelope give no clues as to where it was between October 7th (Baldwin's took two weeks to get the darn thing in the mail :rolleyes:) and November 13. On the latter date it was stamped as arriving in the wrong country. It took another couple of weeks to work its way through the system. [ATTACH=full]368509[/ATTACH] Hopefully a coin I won in the last Nomos auction will be released from Customs soon. It disappeared into that black hole a month ago and apparently there is nothing that can be done about random delays in Customs. I've had a run of bad luck with shipping recently. Between the inexcusable delays in shipping by the auction houses and unaccountable delays in transit, I'm in a state of chronic disgruntlement waiting for coins. Roma has been particularly bad for me lately. They've taken ~2 1/2 weeks to get my coins in the mail for the last two auctions. It takes another two weeks for the packages to arrive. If they could only all be as speedy as Pecunem...[/QUOTE]
