I just saw on the news that a doctor claims that Elvis is not dead and he is a patient of his. He practiced in the Kansas City area. The doctor claims that Elvis wanted to go into hiding because of his drug and alcohol problems. He took a grainy photo of the person but they tried to do an eye imaging scan of it but it wasn't clear enough to compare with an older Elvis photo. The doctor said Elvis chose 2002 as the year to announce that he was not dead. He even said the marker on the grave was intentionally made to spell his middle name wrong to indicate that he was not buried there. The doctor said another man was but in the casket and that the facial features were made to look like Elvis. Can't verify the claim since he is still "hiding". Anyhow back to the question, if aliens brought back a lot of old coins, that would cause a panic in the numismatic world as coin dealers dump their collections at a fraction of the cost. The aliens seize upon the opportunity to accumulate all of the dumped coins and buy out even more coins and then leave the planet with their massive hoard.

What would your slabbed coins be worth if the grading services went out of business? What would your coins be worth if the Internet was taken offline for good?
That doctor was on local radio here a couple of times. He even had Elvis call in... he's supposedly going by the name Jesse now, his dead twin's name. He made arrangements to come to the studios in Cleveland, but he stood them up. Gee, I wonder why?
They have! They're called the US Mint. Just give them a call and they will stamp out a few more of whatever you misplaced and if your lucky they will even give you a certificate "monitizing" the new ...errrrr 'scuse me...old coin.
I think it is more probable that the "poltergeist' that I dealt with as a child has my missing coins
Whenever I was missing something my mother would tell me that the 'friendly, mischievous' poltergeist must have taken it

Most of the coins were beamed up via Epson scanners.
You must've seen the Close Encounters of the Third Kind 40th anniversary re-release. Just got home from seeing it myself.

We had something worse than a poltergeist! You name it and stuff came up missing for years. We were doing some work in our kitchen and found a stash of all the missing items under our kitchen cabinets. It even included some of out kids shoes! The guilty party you ask? A pair of pet ferrets we had!

The aliens are returning all the coins they thought were breath mints, from the "Need a Penny, take a Penny" tray at the local 7-11 They did come back for more Slurpees though...something about the 'brain freeze' and time traveling.

Be careful!
Remember the aliens are just coming here "To Serve Man".
Avoid all microwaves and ovens.

A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.
I can't cook without a microwave. I would starve.
