One can't help but wonder if such a coin hasn't already quietly been passed into the hands of a private collector.

or worse, been melted.

<< <i>or worse, been melted. >>



it is ironic you post that. i was just thinking that about the rumored coins thread where the coins actually existed and made into private citizens hands but the people that received/stole/inherited etc those items either didn't know any better/didn't care/in a hurry/item too noteworthy to sell

SO

the items just get melted for bullion

The story behind the theft leaves little room to believe it was melted.

Unless it was on a counter and accidentally fell into the garbage (sorry ) there was an intent to get this coin.

I actually thought I found the coin at the long beach show as a dealer had an xf45 in his case. When I asked heritage (whom had it stolen) what their coin graded and if it could be the missing coin, I was told I was not the first person to ask them about it and theirs was an au58 not an xf45

The missing 1870-CC $20 NGC AU58 is the finest known of this rarity. PCGS has not graded an AU58.

A year after the theft you offer a reward for information to it's return.

What makes you think the coin still resides in the slab?

mkman123

how much is the coin worth and what are the details of it missing? I mean Brinks has good security, how does it become missing? Makes no sense

linky dinky doo

It was on its way from PCGS to Heritage? Why would it be coming from PCGS if it's in an NGC holder? I can see it being stolen en route *to* PCGS in the case of a crossover submission, but...

Maybe it didn't cross?

Duh, yeah, didn't think of that, I'm a doofus. That would make some sense.
