[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 4639902, member: 105098"]Seems like a scam to me and trying to get paid for coins that were never shipped. if the package was damage and taped, it would be indicated, which likely means they received it looking like that and nothing has changed. With anything you'd have to use due care at a minimum insure it for what it's worth, wich will then trigger UPS to double check the package is packed appropriately for it's value to accept the liability. Looks like insurance fraud to me in my personal opinion and the two missing coins were never in there in the first place. seems fishy the package was damaged and not notated there was a problem with it, seems fishy someone would be mailing almost $100K in gold 45 oz., almost 3 pounds, in a bubble mailer or a box when it could be driven in an hour personally, or sent by an armored carrier for a "reasonable" rate. Seems to me like they can report it as a theft, make an insurance claim, and melt the two coins (if they even actually existed) and come out ahead by whatever the coverage limit is, but what do I know.[/QUOTE]
