Possibly The Most Costly Mistake Of My Coin Collecting Life

I didn't get anything from you so I can't look for it but if the people who did get stuff are like me, half of my packaging gets recycled. Maybe they didn't even look for anything else in the package, and on the other hand, maybe it got thrown away. I would bet most people here would let you know that they got something extra, maybe they would even thank you for the bonus they thought it was, but unless you hear something, I would bet it was thrown away or is still sitting on someone's desk in the box or envelope.
People on here have been so nice to me now and then that there is something extra in the package. Sometimes coins just show up for no reason at all except they are being nice to me. When that happens I always say thanks and usually post something in the family section too.

Bad news ..... here is to hoping it went to an honest person.

Hopefully your experience is like this ...... I returned an e-bay coin once (not satisfied) and the seller sent me a check for $630 (the entire 4 coin lot) .... when all I was owed was $231 (the coin in question).

I wrote 'Void" across the face of the check and sent it back with a letter explaining their mistake ...... the seller would most likely never have known their honest mistake had I cashed that baby.

Anyways ..... hoping for you the coin went to somebody with similar ethics.

Sorry to hear about your troubles Shawdow. Can't speak for anyone but me but if I ordered something from someone and there was another coin besides the one I ordered I would at least e-mail the seller and Thank them for the extra "present". Then you could tell them what happened. Heres hoping a honest person receives the missing coin.

Sounds to me like there may be possibilities other than error in sending to honest or dishonest buyers. Check down inside your couch, your pockets again, your kid's room, your kid's friends, your dog's mouth, your trash, your local pawn shops, etc, etc.

I think you have a decent chance of getting it back, even without a bounty on it. Most people are good people and not thieves. Just send a note along stating that you goofed and you'd be thrilled if they could send it back and you'll be more than happy to reimburse shipping and maybe a bit more for their time. If you offer a bounty, only the more unscrupulous of the buyers (I think) would take it (I know I wouldn't) and if they would consider taking it then they'd likely just consider keeping the coin.

Best of luck and I hope you get your coin back. I have a good feeling you will. I know I would contact you and let you know an extra showed up. There are still good people out there.

Since we have turned the place upside down due to moving, I am 100% sure I didn't just misplace it, and I clearly remember leaving it inside an envelope. So unfortunately I am sure its gone to one of these buyers. I haven't had internet for the last two days either (I'm at the library); its being hooked up on Saturday : (

Next time get a safety deposit box for that month you do the move or get a P.O. box. Thanks for sharing, it's always better to know mistakes than boastful accomplishments.
