Good news! The nice thing about registered there is ALWAYS someone who has responsibility...it still might get lost/stolen/ruined, but there will be a name to be accountable. I guess it just takes finding the right guy to put in the work to find the person...6 weeks and movement, I will bet you see it eventually (mine sat for 4 MONTHS in one spot--I had figured at that travel rate 3 miles/month it might take something like 127 years to reach me...or something like that).
It arrived and in hand even though the scan shows a different zip code. I think the NGC pressure made it happen. Fedex overnight/Private insurance is what we do going forward.

TalerUniverse aims to serve both as a private collection showcase and a growing reference resource for collectors, researchers, and students of early-modern European coinage.
Thanks again everyone for the support and wishes. To an outsider (like my wife) it would seem that we have some kind of strange obsession with these round pieces of metal. My wife was saying - "oh, you have insurance? Good, get your money back" as if this is a pair of shoes. Difficult to explain to most people beyond the monetary value.

I had a coin mailed insured from Chicago on January 14. It sat in the Chicago post office for a week and arrived on January 28. The recent bad weather may have had something to do with the delay.

I tend to think of it as a savings account, try getting you $$ back out of those shoes after 20yrs.
