trout1105 Pillar of the Community Australia 7096 Posts	Posted 05/26/2015 03:40 am Today I received a package from PCGS it has $35,000 worth of coins in it, I should be pretty pleased with that. However they are NOT my coins, they belong to a dealer In Perth. It took a few phone calls and emails but I tracked the owner down. This could easily of ended up in tears, luckily they ended up on my doorstep Report this Post to the Staff

trout1105 Pillar of the Community Australia 7096 Posts	Posted 05/26/2015 07:06 am Nothing remarkable about making sure that these coins get delivered to their rightful owner, I like to think that most people would do the same thing. What is remarkable is that this stupid mistake happened in the first place. Someone at PCGS will probebly loose their job over this as the submitter of these coins is very well respected amongst the Australian numismatic community . Report this Post to the Staff

Thundercoin Pillar of the Community United States 675 Posts	Posted 05/26/2015 08:06 am Fantastic on doing the right thing! Did you also have coins in with PCGS at the time? I was wondering if the dealer received your coins and they switched up the 2 addresses... Report this Post to the Staff

Yes I do but my tracking shows they are going through Australian customs and I don't expect to get them for a week or so. This was just an absolute screw up on behalf of PCGS and needs to be addressed ASAP Report this Post to the Staff

It's all about what you do once they're in your custody. Koodos to you trout Now, if only that box of rocks from Coober Pedy found its way to your door step Report this Post to the Staff
