I sent a message to all of my buyers, so now all I need is some luck, and I should have it back. I would be really upset if I didn't get it back, since it really was one of my favorites too...

9 responses out of 15 and nothing...I'm starting to think I am out of luck. Why oh why could this not have been another coin? Even another valuable one, because this one was almost irreplaceable due to the eye appeal and high condition...

I wish I had just left it somewhere, but I know almost for certain that is not the case. I turned my stuff upside down looking for it...

I feel for you Shadow. I wish I had bought something from you and my package was the one it got lost in....I'd return it ASAP.

I sure hate to here about your loss! Let's hope that an honest person received the coin and lets you know about the error.

SOMEONE FOUND IT! they admitted it in the feedback and thought it was a 'gift'. Now my chances are good, because why would someone admit it if they were just going to keep it? I also hope the guy did not tamper with it at all.

That's good news! I'd offer him a reward of some kind for returning it.

I know I'm not being mean or something, just to see how things work. If he acts amicably, it'll be a recommendation! Also for others to give some comments, etc. The other good news is that I did NOT ship this person bulk, so it was not damaged in transit. I am just hoping the guy knew what he was doing and did not touch the surface of the coin. Wouldn't matter for an AU, but would for an MS-65 or better.

Wow that's great shadow! I was hoping to hear something good before I got to the end of this thread. I know I wouldn't hesitate to return it if it were me.

I had a terrible week for many reasons, so this brightened my day a bit.

I'm definitely waiting to see what happens. Hopefully my faith in the goodness of humanity is validated and he returns it.

He is indeed sending it back. Still hoping he did not touch the surface. I asked him to send it registered and package it carefully in a bubble mailer.

Apparently he did touch the coin, hope it was not too bad.
