I'm still waiting, knowing my luck it got lost, I once had a birthday card arrive a week after my birthday even though my grandmother sent five days beforehand.

World coins are the cheapest way to start a collection. You could go to a coin shop and buy them for 10 for $2. They never will be worth more, but you can't loose a lot of money on them because you don't put a lot of money into them.
The first way I started was collecting one coin from every country I could find. It's fun and easy to get to 100 countries coins, without spending a lot of money. Some very pretty coins.
Then I started collecting each seperate demonination from a dozen or so countries.
Finally I started collecting each date of a particiular group of coins.
You will learn alot about coins along the way.
When good times hit, I bought the more expensive coins. But when there are hard times you can still enjoy collecting cheap world coins.

I have always been told 7 business days. Registered shouldn't slow it down just make you sleep easier.

Just reading your posts in regard to this matter. Purchase was made on a Friday...right (?) First queston in my mind is "How was payment made ? Cash through the post or by direct debit (internet banking) ? If it is the former, you have to make allowance for the cash to be received by the seller. If it is the later, EFT's on a Friday is not cleared into the seller's account until the following Monday evening if you both use the same Bank or on a Tuesday if you both use different Banks. Assuming the funds were cleared on Tuesday, you then have to consider posting times of sellers, most sellers I know of ahve set times each day for posting. There is no seller that I know off that will run to the PO each time funds are cleared into their accounts. Given all of the above, lets assume further the coins were posted on a Wednesday afternoon....it will then depend how far away you are from the seller. It is a fact that mail from the Eastern States take a longgggggg time getting over to WA. I have had coins posted on the same day from Sydney and the US and have on a few occassions where the coins from the US arrive here before the ones from Eastern States...figure that out. Just be patient matey..... P/S....if you are concerned, just ring the seller. |

1937 crown and a couple of 1966 50c, not worth a lot, but its a start, when I have the funds I'm going to get a 1938 crown.
Until then i'll stick with what I got, might stalk the post office though as they have some silver coins going.
