Great response from the German dealer this morning going to send back for a replacement 😊

I bought a collection of Roman coins from @Dakaras a few days ago. Sadly when he posted them there were 11 but when they arrived the envelope was wet through and four were missing. (We’d both like to know what happened to them).
@Dakaras amazingly sent me a right mix of his metal detecting finds as well as refunding part of the cost. He honestly didn’t need to do this and he knows that I’m truly grateful.
I love history and the musket ball is most likely lead, heavy and a true piece of history, as is it all.
I wonder if the piece of pipe could talk, the stories it’s heard.
I’ll share photos of the Roman coins, my original purchase, in the next few days but I’m truly humbled by @Dakaras offer to compensate for the lost coins.
Here’s what he sent:
Apologies for the c**p photo.

2010 Fractional Krugerrand Gold Proof Coin 30th Anniversary Set   Krugs seem to get a bad press on TSF, presumably because they are neither minted in Mexico nor feature equestrian draconicide.  Well, I like them and I appreciate the forum's disdain and the resultant low premiums.    Many thanks to @Samuel21 for this stunning fractional set, offered at a more than friendly price - with matching service from a true gentleman. 1/2, 1/4 and 1/10 oz together with a splendidly uninteresting silver proof medal and a curiously attractive wooden box - ironically with undertones of the Libertad Set Boxes from La Casa de Moneda de México.   Mintage 500.
