Tragic story, I must say. I want to extend my sincere sympathies. In my eyes, market value can never replace such a gem. I can only hope you are a bit more mercantilist than me so that they can (and will) reimburse you fully.

I hope and trust you will refrain from having coins slabbed in the future. I never understood the appeal. I refrain from buying slabbed coins myself and have none in an otherwise extensive collection.

As regards to what you may ask for it, I would not be afraid to open with a high request. The onus is on them to demonstrate that the coin was not worth as much as you ask.

So Sad.
Sap had it right. I guess ya have to go around 1650 Euro's, that would be the minimum. As in all dealings -
with t360. Ask for 4000 but take anything more that 1650
OR
'have them replace with same or better
Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Yeah...sad is right. I did not hear about the damage until I re-read the thread.
Best wishes for a quick resolution.

I did send it to NCS in Sarasota, Florida. I got my letters messed up. Should have said PCGS might do the grading. Sorry too many acronyms for my little brain. It was sent directly to the Numismatic Conservation Service (NCS) with instructions to conserve and authenticate. Based on how long that took, I was going to have to sent through the NCS system or wait and let my dealer back in the states send it to PCGS (that's where he sends his coins). I'm in Amsterdam now, the UK for all of October and I didn't want the coin following me around.

So anyway, I asked that the coin be returned to me if it took the full time to conserve and authenticate it. If time permitted and I they could get the coin graded and shipped in time, they could do that as well. As far as I know, it made the time deadline I gave them and it went all the way through the NCS system and was going to be shipped back before I left Amsterdam. So NCS is the one who broke the coin in the machine that slabs it. Last step and "snap."

So sorry for the confusion. Somehow NCGS got in my head rather than PCGS and I messed up. I was working off memory and got it a little messed up. Guess I was so upset that things didn't work too well.

Please accept my apology.

I think a fair price will be somewhere between what the dealer offered me and what it might bring at an auction. Coin values are all over the map when thy come up for auction and trying to nail that down is impossible. So more than the dealer and less than a wild auction and I'll be a happy camper.

Thanks for all the input I really do appreciate it. Guess you can see now why I said I needed all the help I could get.

Daryl
