<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtisimo, post: 6408170, member: 83845&quot;]Thus I conceded the 6 coins that Yale could prove were in their collection could reasonably be expected to be returned. For the rest there does not seem to be a good reason apparent why Yale should have claim.</p><p><br /></p><p>Even though I can understand the return of the 6 I don’t completely agree with your line of reasoning. For example, I have given several coins from my collection away with no proof that I did so. I have photos of these coins and can prove they were once in my collection. If I see those gift coins up for sale what would stop me from claiming I never gave them away and demanding their return? I’m not suggesting dishonesty on the part of Yale per my example but the time involved and the lower quality of coins involved means these coins could easily have left the collection legitimately without a trace or a memory.</p><p><br /></p><p>In such a case the new owner (CNG or the collector) could very reasonably expect proof that the coins were stolen and not legitimately acquired.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
