<p>[QUOTE=&quot;waterhunter, post: 1320593, member: 34621&quot;]I was hoping you wouldn&#039;t ask for another picture.</p><p>&nbsp;Here is a story that is hard to believe but is completely true and sad at the same time. I will make it as short as possible.</p><p>Found the coin in 10 ft of water Oct 9 2011. Turns out to be a one of a kind Overstrike. I took one picture before sending to ANACS. (the one I posted )</p><p>ANACS took the coin to Baltimore (where it was originally from&nbsp; - Houcks Panacea Baltimore) to see a specialist and also to CA and other states to coin shows. Then from ANACS in Co. they sent it back Fedex express. It goes from ANACS in Co. to Memphis Fedex hub to Newark NJ then goes on a Fedex truck in NJ to arrive in Syracuse. (I&#039;m 30 miles from Syracuse) I watch the Fedex&nbsp; tracking # and it shows it departed Newark 11 pm Tuesday night - two tuesdays ago.</p><p>My son waits home all day Wed to sign for it but it doesn&#039;t show up. The next day I check Fedex tracking and it still shows departed Newark NJ ? ODD?</p><p>I call fedex and they tell me I will not be getting my package and need to replace it. What the ?*#*! I started tearing up explaining that I can&#039;t replace it, it is Unique. What the heck happened ?</p><p>The Fedex&nbsp; tractor trailer left&nbsp; Newark got an hour away, went off the road, Tractor burst into flames and the Tractor melts to&nbsp; Nothing! The nose of the trailer was burnt through the aluminum trailer and about 15 ft inside the trailer body caught fire. My package was in this area.&nbsp; Now I wait for Fedex to paw through the damaged container that they took off the wrecked trailer. I should have an answer next week. </p><p>I can only cross my fingers to getting my coin back unharmed. Hopefully the coin survived because it is silver and it takes 1,700 degrees F to melt. </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; So, my coin survived around 150 years in water , grades AU 50 w/ Overstrike, my find of a life time, travels accross the country and ends up burning in a Fedex trailer! This crap could only happen to me.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I am actually writting a story about it for a well know magazine.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; My partner and I just got done visiting the wreck site and damaged trailer and we metal detected the entire area and did not find it. I think it will show up next week in the container of damaged packages.</p><p>I have been extreamly upset and now I am trying to figure out what the coin&#039;s potential value could be.</p><p>&nbsp; Hopefully it will make it back next week.</p><p>&nbsp;I greatly appreciate all the help I can get. </p><p>&nbsp;Tonight I am going to give myself some Crown Royal Therapy!</p><p>GG[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
