    Just another empress I felt the need to add, price was right.

    Would be adding a emperor also but the coin has become the first that ever got lost in the mail, not pleased at all:mad:.

    Cool coin Mat. You really are putting together a cool Empress collection. Like I have said before, they are very underappreciated versus their rarity. :)

    The emperor coin was mailed xmas eve along with some other peoples orders, usually takes 3 days from florida to get here. The other people awaiting shipments have complained & the dealer asked if I got mine yet since it was mailed the same day, and I told him no.

    He's suppose to email me today with what the PO said yesterday.

    Never had a lost coin before. It wasnt high value or hard to get another example of, it was just the price hard to beat & a "scarce" variety.

    I still say wait a bit. THe PO gets swamped around xmas, people are on vacation, its hard to get trucks, etc etc. I have had packages take a couple weeks longer than they should this time of year. Keep your fingers crossed, maybe its still on its way. :)

    yeah, knock on wood and just call it delayed for now. I've (and others) had packages take detours along the way.

    Dealer talked to his PO and my missing coin and along with some Marcian gold was confirmed lost, got my refund. This sucks...

    Confirmed lost? I wonder how the PO can confirm its lost. Did he ship it registered?

    No wonder they are going broke. :(

    Speaking of the PO, (I know this is OT but its bugging me), when did these idiots stop cancelling stamps? I know people who simply remove stamps, (since they are self adhesive), and use them over and over. What moron thought it was a good idea to not cancel a stamp?
