Are you going to post this across the street too? It might show up in one of the sets there, before here.

Your customer is lucky he made it home alive from Santa Ana PO.

A couple things... if someone could post this over at the NGC forum for me, it would be greatly appreciated.

Also, I got an email from a dealer today who told me his shipment of proof gold buffalos was recently stolen out of the Santa Ana Post Office. I will alert the customer to contact the Postal authorities with that information as well.

Will do.

Perhaps you ought to take "coins" out of your address? Perhaps just "State Line Exchange".

Addresses and return addresses that indicate that the shipment contains coins are tempting to crooked postal employees or other delivery personnel. If any forum member has the word "coin" on their address label, they are asking for trouble. Gold buffalos mentioned above should have been sent registered due to their value. Registered mail is far less likely to get lost or stolen.

AU and AG - You are 100% correct. We NEVER have the words "coins" listed in an address of a package we ship out.

This was shipped by a collector that did not appreciate that subtle point. Let's just say, this will be a hard lesson for the collector to have learned if the coin never shows up.

Yes, I know, as I've done business with Wondercoin! It was more of a heads
up to all, and you looked like an easy mark to use!!
