I want to thank everyone over at NGC for all the help in the recovery of this coin and in particular, Mark Salzberg. From just seeing a photo of the coin from the flyer I handed him back in March he immediately recognized it when submitted at the Baltimore show and sent it down to NGC offices to begin the investigative process. I will be receiving the coin later this week and am obviously thrilled to be getting it back. The submitter of the coin has contacted me and we are trying to track it back to the person that took it. For now, I am just pleased it was not damaged or dipped. It is as pristine as it was when I first purchased it. There was no insurance coverage for the coin as it was classified as a mysterious disappearance.
We're all happy for you, David. And it is very, very nice to see that an absolute numismatic treasure such as this one has not been damaged or lost forever.
I'm very glad that it's going to be back home with the rightful owner! When the time is appropriate, please let us know the particulars of the investigation. It will be very satisfying to watch step by step of how a coin thief goes down.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
