Quote from: 'purplepennyhunter' pid='4273' dateline='1354441472'To post for $3 must be under 20mm including the envelope (largest letter under 500g-over that it's a parcel). My 2012 edition would do that.

Here's one with free registered post....

Quote from: 'Mister T' pid='4236' dateline='1354409563'My April 1996 issues both had May 1996 stickers on them (though I peeled the stickers off) as well as saying May 1996 on the inside.
purplepenny, does your May 1996 say May 1996 in the contents page?

Quote from: 'chookcity' pid='4227' dateline='1354407122'I am also missing May 1995 and April 1996. Does make one wonder. :scratch_one-s_head:

Yeah it does. There's a few mis-numberings late in the piece which is confusing. Do you have a May 1996?

Have May 1996 issue 381 ( with sticker )

Coin Chit Chat / RE: ARRRRRG

Quote from: 'trout' pid='4084' dateline='1354099024'I just recived an email from the seller with a genuine apology and an offer for a full refund and keep the coin anyway.

I rejected the refund and accepted the apology,sometimes we just have to accept the fact that people DO make mistakes and we just have to forgive them (No matter how painfull) bugger, I realy wanted that die crack coin.
Oh well I'll just keep hunting and try again another day.
Ce la ve :give_heart:

Would never have happened if the coin was slabbed. :angel:

Most often they do nothing. Unless you can prove to them the item or the seller is dodgy. Almost impossible in the time available. :dead_horse:

Good luck, That's a terrible thing to do to such a nice coin.
