Benefactor DonnaML Posted May 7, 2023 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted May 7, 2023 The link is Lucilla, and I'm posting it because it gives me a chance to lament a coin I bought but never received. It's a Lucilla denarius (ex Dr. Busso Peus Nachf. 2008) that I bought from Kölner Münzkabinett in late January of this year. It entered the maw of U.S. Customs on February 6, and has apparently disappeared forever, despite multiple inquiries by the dealer. The dealer refunded the purchase price to me, but I still get annoyed thinking about it, because it looked like a really great coin and I wanted it! If anyone ever sees it for sale anywhere, please let me know! 2 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
