Just to avoid any issues later with bids from outside the EU - the interpretation I get from the OP is that he will only post in the EU. Please let us know 1John8Lare!!

Given the recent Brexit votes, does that include or exclude Great Britain? :D



I am willing to reship the coin outside the EU so feel free to place a bid if you live outside Europe.
There goes my chance at a cheap cas due to the other bidders being locally misplaced. :-X

 ;) Well... For the moment we're good! Will take up to 2 years to invoke Article 50. But as it stands this ship is heading into a storm without a captain at the helm!

I'm not shipping the coin outside the EU. Shipping with DHL up to 500€ insured only to the countries listed!

I'm fine with that, but them *my* job is done when the package arrives at TheNewAnon135246 :)
Also note the additional costs!

Update.

I used escrow for this coin through OgNasty.

1John8Lare posted the coin with DHL on July 27th from Germany according to the tracking details supplied.
Unfortunately, the coin has not turned up. I am in the UK.
The tracking seems to be stuck, and does not show the package moving at all - actually, the last update to the tracking was when OP dropped off the coin.
OP has been in communication, and advised that he will be chasing this up with DHL this week.

Fingers crossed it arrives soon. But it doesn't look promising :(

Thanks,
Zepher

An update!

After a lovely sightseeing tour around Germany, this coin has eventually turned up!!
I am quite surprised. The packaging is pretty battered and bruised, and is even open in one place, but the coin was there!
It seems to be in a decent shape, so no damage whilst on its' travels.

Thanks,
Zepher

Well I have to say that DHL sucks big time for shipping cas coins. Especially their tracking is crap and Hotline isn't helpful either. UPS is way better but of course more expensive.:(
