I feel the dealer needs to either put up or shut up on this coin. Either mail the money back to the buyer or send the coin. Like others have said if it has been a year then i would be like please send a refund for the price. ( i wouldnt bother with interest) just get my money back and have a lesson learned about the seller. I know you want the coin but at this point wouldnt you at least want your money back. At least that way your back to square 1. right now your up the creek without a coin or your money he cashed. Just saying.

A plastic surgeon in chicagoland owed me 100K once upon a time ( you reading ? ) and he took a year to pay me which was not part of the agreement. I let it go and a year later when I was paid in full I delivered the coins.
But your deal doesn't sound kosher at all.
A LOT of money made in this business in recent years. There is NO LEGITIMATE REASON to be slow with money.
I'm hoping for a happy ending and I really want to know what this elusive item is. I actually have a good feeling about this. Is Len being a little coy? MJ

Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

Sounds like you got the money you had given him back. That is great! I wouldn't call it "made whole" though, as he had 4 figures, as you mentioned, for a year. "Made whole" would have been him making up for that in some way above and beyond the original amount you had given him.
And to not "find" the item, he is either very disorganized or dishonest. I can't imagine too many reputable dealers that would misplace/lose/forget an item worth 4 figures.
At the end of the day, I am glad you got your money back at the very least!
