1999 $10 St. Gaudens W-Error Mint & Unfinished Proof Dies ICG-MS70

Hmmm, I see. When I was 22 I'd just punched out of college (4 yr Forestry Degree) and joined the USAF because there were no decent paying jobs in the business and also had bills out the ying-yang. Upon completion of basic training I discovered the apt which I was renting and letting my GF at the time live in for 12 weeks when I was gone was virtually ransacked and my coin collection lifted which include 20 Seated Liberty silver dollars.

I contacted all the pawn/coin shops in the Nacogdoches/Lufkin area, to no avail. The police were of no real help either and there was no coin insurance at that time.

She (the ex GF) had hit the road for Houston and claimed no knowledge of the crime. As far as I know it's still unsolved.

Now, 25 years later things are much better except I don't have a single Seated liberty Dollar...

Where is that at?

 

That would be Ohio... as for military, I tried and got rejected due to the three metal plates in my head.

 

As a former renter and a current landlord I would love to see that law in print.

I'll admit, I only did a quick search, but nothign has popped up yet.

 

I think most of us understand the money thing...when you need it you need it. What I think we were trying to say, in short, was don't get your hopes set on some book value, even if the coin is an error piece. The good thing about it is that it's gold, which means it will sell. For $10,000? You better attain a very respected auctioneer to see that, or anything remotely close. I, like many here, could retire and live a sweet life if all our coins sold at actual Red Book or PCGS prices.
Once again, best of luck whatever route you take.

Here's the situation, guy dies, rents not paid the following month. Their family is sent a notice of eviction, and lets them know that we will be taking them to court to get the apartment back. We take them to court, they have 30 days after, to go and gather the belonings. If the keys aren't recieved by the 30 days, a county sheriff comes on the 31st day, and checks the apartment for anyone in there, if no one is present when the sheriff enters, the apartment is now legally the apartment complexes again. And voila, I'm maintenance I'm resposible for emptying out the trash before I repair the unit, and we're allowed to take anything we want from the apartment if we don't want to throw it away. Perfectly legal. Portage County Ohio BTW.

 

Can you link us to that? I'm not doubting you too much but I want to reference it just in case

 

Link to what? I know what our hire ups tell us, if we get the apartment back after eviction, it's vacant, therefore we throw out what ever's in the apartment. You can't tell me you guys didn't do the same.

 

SapperNurse,
I know guys around here who do the same thing---ask the judge at court and I'm betting he/she would say the same thing.

not without a court order allowing it.

About the same with personal gear and belongings with AWOL soldiers too, have to have JAG permission

 

100% difference with an eviction, and them not gathering their belongings with in the given time.

 

I'm inclined to believe tbednar85, as I know it's also commonly practiced in the storage facility business as well. My cousin makes about 50-80k per year by selling off in auctions the stuff people who have either passed away or stopped paying rent on in their storage space. Once the renter resigns their right to claim the space theirs by letting their contract lapse, the property becomes that of the facility, by law.

Thank you sir. Well said.

 

Alrighty guys---we aren't here to talk about Law and Order! ( ) I think we have now taken it far enough and need to get back to the topic.

It's yours to sell if you want

Check out the higher quality auctions sites and sell it if that's what you want to do. Don't even listen to those who think you "should be reported". They must be high or just jealous. You got the coin as a result of an unfortunate death of someone you didn't know or know well. That's life...and death. That coin is yours to do as you please.
But, please, check out the options before you sell. Optimize your options and then go on living your life.

Well said, thank you.

 

The Secret Service uses ICG, not for their grading service but for their authentication service. JP Martin at ICG is one of the leading US coin authenticators in the country.

JP started as an authenticator at ANACS in 1984. He wrote a counterfeit detection home study course for ANA. His DVD 'Detecting Counterfeit & Altered US Coins' is an excellent reference. JP and Bob Campbell teach a Counterfeit Detection course every summer in Colorado Springs at the ANA Summer Seminar. (I took their course a couple of years ago. I highly recommend that anyone buying unslabbed coins costing over $200 take that or a similar course.)
