The story sure sounds like it belongs in a numismatic magazine. Do you have any pictures of it that could help identify any unique marks or specific features of the coin? The top coin graders can tell if the same coin has been re-slabbed, especially with the rarer ones... Just a humble thought... Good luck with this beautiful cause...

wow, what a cool story.

Here's an odd thought.. as I was reading the post it sounded like an episode of History Detectives. You might actually think about contacting them or a similar show. At minimum you could verify the authenticity of your document, and the exposure would likely do good for the chances of reuniting the coin and the paperwork.

Statistically, I don't see how the parkavenue coin could be anything but yours. What is the chance of TWO PCGS PR62 graded 1836 Gobrecht dollars?

If somebody has a login for the park avenue website, they can get the cert number for you.

Thanks for your thoughts. I have been talking with a man from Park Avenue and have sent him a copy of the letter and should hear from him this week. I am also trying to get the certificate number from the dealer I sent it to. I should know more this coming week. I doubt I get any info from him. Do you think I should just call Coin World with the story - anyone have any contacts there?

I think that if you put together a tight two page article about the situation and made a nice photocopy of the letter CoinWorld may post it as a little side article. It certainly is an interesting situation.
