The coin pictured has been offered for sale to several dealers. In one instance it was brought in by two young females.
Anyone with information contact:

Is the coin stolen? The cert page doesn't indicate any issues.
Is it still in the holder or raw?
That coin has been shopped all around the Atlanta metro area and onwards north to South Carolina, no dealers will follow through with a transaction because of suspicious circumstances. Two females and a male - unusual background story that changes for each store, and switching around who does the talking at the counter. All of their information has been gathered,
Essentially, the Dealer community is waiting for someone to come forward and report it stolen, but that person may not even know it's missing yet. PCGS has the records of who submitted it, and its a recent submission. I'm not sure why they can't trace it back to that person, who can then check their records and follow the trail.

Hope someone (police) have some sorta heads up on it (file)
The cert brings up a different cert and coin as seen above.
Is this a fake coin & label in a slab that's being offered to the dealers?
Why does the trueview for this coin have a different cert number on it? That's really strange.
Collector, occasional seller
It was sent in for a regrade with a good-sized group of other nice coins, but PCGS never switched the certs (not an uncommon problem these days).

The coin is real and the slab is real, but nothing can be done until the coin is reported as stolen. The objective of this thread is basically, "Does anyone know who owns this 1801 $10?"

Thanks, after a closer look it's the same coin. The switched cert issue threw me a curveball.
I'm going to assume that this coin is the only one missing out of the 'good sized' group.
A coin like that not reported missing or stolen ... I hope there isn't more to the story that has yet to be discovered.
Odd indeed. Thank you for the additional information.
Maybe Grandpa doesn’t know it’s missing yet. Hope not but just saying

The 59084234 number shows as "currently in a user's private set registry inventory".
PCGS would know how to contact the registry owner and let them know or find out if it went to or was on its way to someone else.
Also wonder if it could have been stolen during shipping recently enough that the owner might not know it yet.

Hopefully this coin is not part of a violent crime of armed robbery (where the owner was hurt or worse; as that would be one explanation why the coin has not been reported as stolen).
Or , it could be someone in family died, and some heirs have it, not unherd of, usually not this calibre of a piece, but not impossible either. Iv seen it too many times, I had an instance like this once on some high powered stuff two young girls brought in, I remembered the coins becuase I did an appraisal for the guy who owned them and his attorney years prior, I even called the attorney when they came in, and he said, its thiers to sell. thier father passed and left it to them., they sold it for dope Im sure and left the area.
Also, about two years ago, I was working with a guy that was handling a collection for his mother n law as her husband passed. it was 6 duffle bags full of stuff, mostly stuff, but I ran across a list of gold coins while going thru noting a pan pac $50 , territorial $10 and some other stuff. I asked him what happened to these, and he said his mother in law passed out all the gold coins to the nieces and nephews at time of death, many ended up in the pawn shops in charleston, sc Myrtle beach area and god knows where else.
