Heliodromus Posted October 24, 2023 · Member Share Posted October 24, 2023 (edited) So, I won a coin in the Sol Numismatik auction on Saturday (3 days ago) and paid immediately, selecting DHL express shipping. Yesterday coin was shipped from Ljubljana, Slovenia at 1:30pm, and by evening was in Milan, Italy. Today shortly after midnight coin was in Leipzig, Germany, and 8 hours later had landed in USA. 20 min ago doorbell rings and coin is now in my hand. Only one problem - coin has a hole bang in the middle of it ! ... But I'm ok with that ! 🙂 Edited October 24, 2023 by Heliodromus 18 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John060167 Posted October 25, 2023 · Member Share Posted October 25, 2023 thats pretty fast, overnight international..! What was the cost? Ive had good experiences with FedEx, mostly took 2-3 days usually. Only once did a package come overnight, which was a pleasant surprise..!

Shipping was EUR 34 (EUR 24 + an optional EUR 10 for insurance). Can't complain given how fast it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benefactor Ancient Coin Hunter Posted October 25, 2023 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted October 25, 2023 (edited) I had one shipped that took like 36 hours to arrive from Portugal. Needless to say I was pleasantly surprised. Edited October 25, 2023 by Ancient Coin Hunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambr0zie Posted October 25, 2023 · Member Share Posted October 25, 2023 Always nice to see the good combo - houses shipping quickly + fast delivery service. I am now in the opposite situation - I won some coins on an auction from Sunday. Paid instantly. On the previous occasions, that house shipped quickly - 1 day maximum 2, but the problem is with the postal services from that country - slow as a snail. But this time they still haven't shipped it 😐 Not very impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seth77 Posted October 25, 2023 · Member Share Posted October 25, 2023 ... and what an incredible coin. These 'festival' coins have usually Isis or Serapis on obverse, this one has Constantine himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heliodromus Posted October 25, 2023 · Member Author Share Posted October 25, 2023 Thanks, Seth - I was curious how many would recognize the type and/or coin! I'm just about to post a better photo and write-up in a new thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
