I got a nice letter from Germany the other day, with a surprise gift, out of the blue!
Udo sent me a holey 1687 Hildesheim 24-mariengroschen (2/3 thaler) piece, in sympathy for the "one that got away" (the 1806 Draped Bust half which turned out to be a previously-undiscovered Overton variety, after I sold it to Cladiator- the story recently hit Coin World, I believe- basically I sold a coin with a four-figure pricetag for around $75).
I've been wanting a 17th-century thaler on the Holey Coin Vest for some time, and a 2/3 thaler fits the bill nicely. I didn't have any big silver from before 1700 on there- just minors.
Thanks, Udo! That was a really nice surprise!
It will have a proud place on the Holey Coin Vest, right on the same hook where the now-famous Draped Bust half once hung. (I do still have another Draped Bust half on the vest, but it isn't a rare variety... at least, I don't think it is...)

I will have to amend the situation soon.

It sounds as if there's a moral obligation from one member to another to recompensate.
