<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ambr0zie, post: 8064112, member: 80952&quot;]I don&#039;t have horror stories with ancient coins. The only semi-horror is with a coin, already clipped, found broken 3 pieces in the album a few days after purchasing it. </p><p>Used Superglue and it did the trick.</p><p><br /></p><p>But I do have some horror near missed with modern numismatics.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1397936[/ATTACH]</p><p>This is one of the smallest banknotes in the world, in fact it is a &quot;paper coin&quot; issued in WW1 as an emergency measure. 27.5 x 38 mm. </p><p>These are not extremely rare, but interesting and popular.</p><p>As a beginner collector, I ordered some coins and banknotes from an auction site, some years ago. I was in the office so the courier arrived there. I opened the package, I was very glad about the contents, I analyzed the coins and notes and in the meantime I was working.</p><p>So after unpacking and sorting I cleaned my desk and threw all the unnecessary stuff (envelope, pieces of paper, plastic sheets) in the bin.</p><p>Of course, the small banknote was lost.</p><p>The next day I spoke with one of the cleaning ladies and with a great chance, she found &quot;the stamp&quot; and gave it back. </p><p><br /></p><p>I seem to have major issues when doing 2 things in the same time (generally speaking, even doing 2 tasks at work) and this is why I have been avoiding doing anything numismatic related AND something else concomitantly ever since.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
