CIVITAS - An Important Message About Lost Gold

I would not normally go shouting my big mouth off about a private commercial transaction but here goes.

A few weeks ago I ordered 12 coins from Josh at Civitas - just when he did the SSP List. I had fully intentions of using the weak dollar to my advantage and selling the coins on Ebay. Three of the coins were gold. Two Costa Ricans and a Cuba 5 Pesos 1915.

The coins were split into two packages and posted to me here in the UK. The Cuban coin at $149 did not show up in the package. It is our belief that the package was opened and resealed, probably of course by some postal worker. It is a possibility that the coin fell out when I opened the package and now resides in the grime of my office floor or the dust inside my vaccuum cleaner.

I didn't like it but I wrote it off and decided to try to get the money back with Ebay sales of the other 11 coins. I managed this with just ONE coin and told Josh this.

Then he did something I wouldn't have done.

HE OFFERED TO REFUND MY MONEY FOR THE LOST CUBAN COIN.

Just thought I'd mention it.

    Both you and Josh are examples of what I might call upstanding dealers. It was nice of him to offer to refund the money-certainly it builds great Karma. As he treats you, so will you treat him...image

    Is this the second Cuban gold coin that Josh lost in the mail recently? image
