Do I owe you money?

in U.S. Coin Forum
I have a PCGS holdered coin that I do not remember either buying or receiving. It must have arrived sometime in the last couple of months because...

1 I haven't broken it out of its holder yet, and
2. it is still at home rather than the SDB.

I have looked through my checkbook and recent Paypal transactions and can't find anything that looks like an unknown purchase in a range that I would have paid for the coin--probably around 250 to 300 dollars.

I have checked with the couple of dealers who in the past have simply sent coins on spec and they all say the coin isn't theirs. If I bought a _______ PCGS coin (not a bust half!!!) from you and didn't pay for it let me know what it is and what I owe you. If, on the other hand I DID pay for such a coin let me know when and what I paid.

    It's a dog when we get old, isn't it? Once found a $230 MO on my desk and eventually found another receipt for the same amount and transaction. I could not remember that I actually went back to the bank to get another MO to pay for a transaction. Another was a check that I had cashed but did not send out any coins. How I discovered this error evades me at the moment but I do remember emailing the buyer and apologizing etc, even to send the coin and a refund check in which he did not cash. Another involved a $400 coin that I returned. Several weeks had passed before it dawned on me that the seller hadn't returned my money. When I asked him about it over the phone, he had forgot about it as well. $400? image
    But since heart surgery, I do believe that I'm losing my mind. Went to pay a bill the other day and they took my credit card. Immediately afterwards, I asked them who I should write the check out to? The lady had to remind me that I was paying with a credit card.

    I guess it's a problem, but I'm hoping that it's not - I've had to scrounge around to find out who I wrote checks to (and the amounts) twice in the past month.image

    I'm not sure about the coin, but I seem to recall that someone on this forum had made an arrangement to pay off my mortgage.

    Now that I have forgotten who this person is, I am totally embarrassed. But I do hope that someone here will step up and pay off my mortgage as previously agreed.

    Did you register it with the pcgs registry? Maybe seeing the date you first entered it would jog your memory.

    Are there any other options? ie: a gift or a swap item?

    << <i>Are there any other options? ie: a gift or a swap item? >>



    The other option that I am most afraid of is receiving it by mistake and it was supposed to go elsewhere. In that scenario then there are two upset people not just one.

    As for the other couple of ideas that were floated--checking the registry and/or the photo contest--neither apply.

    Getting old may be "a dog", but it sure beats the alternative. image

    try searching your email for the date of the coin
    as there may have been email correspondence

    or search the BST if you buy there

    If you owed someone money, they would send you a reminder. Although, after you started this thread, you are probably being inundated with reminders.image I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

    Nope, not me.

    I was sitting on a check for the last couple of weeks because I had no idea where it came from.
    Name didn't ring a bell and it didn't match any Ebay listings.
    My wife said: didn't you sell some gold on the PCGS board a few weeks ago?

    Yep, that was it, just plain forgot. And I shipped the gold before I got the check
    so didn't put two and two together.

    Oh my,

    This sounds like a real luxury problem imageimage you have a coin and you have no idea where it came from image

    I do understand that it makes it difficult to "enter it" into your inventory list properly... if all else fails, I suppose I could supply you with a "dummy" invoice... I would promise not to charge you if you promise not to try to "return" the coin to me image
