I’m only curious if the coin was actually stolen, or misplaced during the shipping process. After all, it was less than 24 hours after initial post that “stolen” coin was found and thread title edited.
Stolen and Recovered ?
Or: Lost and Found ?

There’s no need to be curious. The opening post said “… The package—both the outer and inner boxes—arrived sliced open and empty. It obviously had been tampered with before delivery. Authorities have been notified, and I understand that the seller is notifying NCIC.”

That doesn’t sound “misplaced” to me.

You haven’t lived until you’ve shipped $300k of coins in a package with only $150k of insurance coverage or flown cross country with a $5M nickel in your pocket. Heh

I got to walk the 7 most valuable coins in the Smithsonian's collection in an unlocked box across the museum floor while it was open.

Okay, so there was a big guy with a gun walking next to me, but I digress.

What a waste of a thread.

Really? THIS is the thread you're complaining about after the weekend we had?

I guess I'm Jaded lol

A valid point was made that this was an online only auction therefore the stickers mattered more. With that said, I don’t think it’s particularly difficult to sort these 3 according to quality off the images

You know you’re jaded when…
You see a gorgeous MS68 or PR68 classic type coin but have a negative reaction becaise it looks overgraded.
