I won a coin at a a
German auction house in the first week of November and finally received it in mid-February. Both the
auction house and I
had given up on the coin, and I was about to be reimbursed when it showed up. Tracking was to no avail. Both the
German Post and our USPS knew nothing of the whereabouts of the package. The kindest explanation is that Covid and the year end holiday traffic overwhelmed all postal capacities. But I have
had a multi-coin shipment disappear in
New York customs. USPS told me the package
had been shipped to Singapore by mistake after they denied any knowledge for weeks.
We should breed letter pigeons again!
