<p>[QUOTE="Terence Cheesman, post: 7617405, member: 86498"]Well it is Saturday and not because I had any real choice in the matter I am working on some coins I just received of Kassander. I bought these two at the Gorny & Mosch auction in April and so I thought no problem with Fed Ex package should be in my hot little hands in a couple of weeks, WRONG.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Package spent something like 3 weeks in Germany as a result of the lockdown in that country because of COVID.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie20" alt=":banghead:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie20" alt=":banghead:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie20" alt=":banghead:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Once it left it proceeded very quickly to Edmonton and then got stuck in customs.
