Yeah Groiny, me too. There is not enough, or too much, to tell what is going on. I at least can not follow it directly. As I said before, I sincerely hope all turns out well for the OP.

They do not have to begin with VH or VF. I have multiple forms for each type of service that I keep at home and this level of service has more than one two-letter combination at the beginning. Both VH and VF are represented in the stack that I have at home.

What do you think the postmaster would do first? Ask to see the tracking report, of course. Then he would know if it was there and delivery attempted.

It depends on where you are. Tracking numbers insured/registered/etc.are coded by area. Mine here in Iowa start with VH. I have one in my hands now.

You changed it because it didn't further your delusion that the buyer is a dishonest so-and-so who is trying to swindle you out of your precious coin. People called you on it, so then you changed the facts of the issue.

I had fun golfing today. Had 49 on the front nine and 46 on the back. Please post a coin with a 95 on it. I was severely ticked off and I was wrong. On one hole I hit four trees and took a seven.
I'd be calling them every day. That sort of mail is the first stuff put out every day [at least it is here]. If they have it they should know by 8 a.m.
Geesh, I was trying to wait to get that 400th response post coveted award as I have nothing else to do with my life however I have summumbed to posting to this thread. That being said, I find this thread greatly amusing, entertaining, and educational. Thanks for the popcorn fodder!

I read the first 50 posts and then got dizzy but this question has been driving me nuts....
DO YOU HAVE INSURANCE?
Shouldn't you have your collection covered which includes mailing? I know there is an expense to it but it certainly makes sense to me if you are mailing out $2k worth coins without full/cleared funds upfront.
I'd tease more but I suddenly have a lot of glass to sweep up....

Lets start a guess the buyer thread.
Why does that matter? FWIW I know who the buyer is. >>
