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

But seriously- I had more of an issue with Brinks than I ever have had with overnight. They ‘lost’ the 1884&1885 trade dollars for a week one time

I don't understand all the secrecy around this coin theft. Since the coin was "stolen" and is now recovered, can we assume the thief was identified and apprehended?

EVERYONE LOOK OUT FOR THIS MASSIVE COIN THAT WENT MISSING.

OH NEVERMIND.

I could post 5 or 10 undesirable coins that I have purchased overthe years because of OCD spurred on by trying to complete a set. The collecting gene is at least 40 percent irrational.
The good news is I have unloaded most of them, often at a loss.
My advice for what it's worth, is a corollary to a Mark Feld tip for coin collecting: if there's something undesirable about a coin, it will only be more so once you acquire it.

That was uncalled for. Under the circumstances described, it was perfectly reasonable to report the coin theft. And it was just as reasonable to provide the update that the coin had been located.

I’m certainly going to give @TypeCollector87 the benefit of the doubt that he has a very good reason for not providing further details at this time.

Lol, everyone picking on Goob for having fun wrong.

Obviously, Goob should have asked @MFeld and the rest of the peanut gallery for approval before making any decisions about his collection. I can only pray that he has learned his lesson.
