A raffle prize is always worth waiting for. The final MONSTER RAFFLE prize has landed!!
SOURCE
They say "good things come to he who waits", and waiting is certainly something ive had to do before this package arrived through my letterbox this morning....
Lets go back, back to the evening of September 30th, 2023!! The night of the #silvergoldstackers community monster raffle draw. Fortunately, luckily, or just even statistically I managed to pick up a few prizes from the raffle, and I eagerly awaited delivery of said prizes.
Prize results MR 2023
I missed out on some.of the earlier prizes, but rommed home in the end with a total of 5oz of silver won. Now it wasnjust a casenof exchanging delivery addresses, and my prizes would be mailed out to me, at the earliest convenience of the donator/sender.
It wasnt too long before the ounces started appearing througg my door. The excitement of "unboxing" precious metals, still gets me every time. Im like a kid at Christmas, tearing at the envelopes, waiting to see what wounders have arrived.

But alas, one package failed to materialise.... The prize from @thekittygirl had gone astray! Poor kitty was besides herself, but this wasnt my first rodeo. Knowing the shitshow that is USPS and Royal Mail, it was now a waiting game.
Then out of no where, on a random Friday look what finally landed on my doormat. Taking more than 2 months to travel across "the pond" my metal paperweight silver Philharmonic finally arrived.
SOURCE
Each coin contains one ounce of 999 fine investment grade silver bullion.
The front of the silver Philharmonic coin depicts an image of a series of musical instruments used by the Vienna Philharmonic. The reverse of the coin features the weight, year of minting and the face value of the coin. Each 1 Ounce silver Philharmonic coin has a face value of 1,50 EUR.
The silver Philharmonic coins are very popular for silver investors, particularly those looking to invest in silver within the EU. For those looking to invest in silver, the backyear silver philharmonic is a better choice than a current year coin, because of the lower premium.
The silver Philharmonic coin is produced by the Austrian Mint. The Austrian Mint produce the Philharmonic coin in gold, silver and platinum. The gold Philharmonic was initially released in Schilling denominations, but this was updated to Euros when Austria switched to using the Euro in 2000.

@thekittygirl just slapped you with 1.000 PIMP, @welshstacker.
You earned 1.000 PIMP for the strong hand.
They're getting a workout and slapped 1/2 possible people today.

Ive had a few packages disappear into the postal "backrooms" over the years, never to be seen again. Some ebay packages(silver) and the biggest one was when the delivery driver pocketed my 2018 steemsilverrounds. That experience almost made me give up stacking!! But as always the community rallied and they made good.
OMG! And there was no restitution possible? 🙀
I think Sevinwilson tried to claim back the costs (him and Raybrockman were responsible for the production of them bsck then). The deliverycdriver forfedamy signature and said id recieved them, but i could prove inwas still innwork when the "delivery" occured.
Ill see where the old emails are between royal mail/parcel force and myself and write a blog about it..... It still hurts now, and makes my blood boil!!! The email correspondence is rather funny looking back on it, but they would NOT accept any responsibility for the loss till i threatened to get the police involved.
Wow that's hella late but at least it made it !BBH
@welshstacker! Your Content Is Awesome so I just sent 1 $BBH (Bitcoin Backed Hive) to your account on behalf of @bitcoinman. (30/50)
My Postal service doesn't track most international inbound packages anymore. The Courier company considered my package lost (Containing a very expensive Spanish 8 Reales) 42 days after the posting date. I'm suspecting the CBSA villains are responsible for my postage anxiety. Thank God it finally arrived.
