made a little boo boo. mailed wrong coin and it's the more valuable one!

hello, i do not want to let this thread go too long or anything, lol, im sure there are better things we can find our time to talk about but i made a little mistake the other night and really hope an honest person comes through on this.

i sold some common date morgans through the forum (graded of course) and on ebay, to a total of 3 different epeople, well, it looks like one of my nice toned morgans got included in the mix that is worth a lot more than the price i sold those m64s' at. they were all in the same grade, same holder, so i can see why it was easy for my mind to mix them up by accident. i contacted the 3 people to yet no reply, but am hoping they come thru. any suggestions on what i do at this point? maybe offer them an incentive to come forward and return the coin back to its proper owner??

    I'd wait a reasonable time for replies. Maybe you can narrow it down. Once you do, or if you get no replies, offer an incentive. If you still get no replies, write it off as a lesson learned.

    Suggest keeping the nice toned stuff in a separate area from now on. Sorry this happened to you. Perhaps the recipient will realize the error and contact you.

    If you realize you've sent something of Significant Value by mistake and catch it soon, you can use the Package Intercept service to try and get it sent back to you before it gets delivered. It starts at $11, so best just use it for blunders where it would pay off.

    I once bought a Battlecreek morgan off a ebay buyer who had 2 of them listed.
    I won the coin, but recieved the other one, which sold for about $50 more, and had a little
    nicer tone pattern. I contacted the seller, and he contacted the other buyer. He said he didnt
    get a responce after 2 weeks, and told me to just keep the coin or would offer me a full refund. I kept the coin.

    as far as your issue, if no one fesses up, you just have to make good with the person you shorted somehow.

    I messed up one time sending some Mustang Parts to Canada. Accidently sent both packages to the same person. I contacted him, explained what happened, offered to pay to have it reshipped, etc.

    He laughed about it, and told me that the other person was about 45 miles away, but he worked for a grocery chain, and just put the package on the grocery distribution truck. THe other person picked it up at the grocery store, and everyone was good on it. He told me that he did not know there another classic Mustang person in the area, and they got together to swap stories, compare cars, etc., so it all worked out.
