<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 6427393, member: 74282&quot;]Many of these questions are answered in this thread. The trays listed &quot;Yale&quot; as the source of some coins. CNG reached out to Yale, I assume as part of their usual research following up on provenances (these coins could easily have their value multiplied by having verifiable pre-1970 provenances, for instance). When Yale viewed the images of the coins with the trays, something about the handwriting and trays themselves made them believe they were theirs(I assume the style matched existing coins at Yale). Importantly, CNG didn&#039;t just turn over the coins to Yale - the consignor agreed with this disposition. I don&#039;t doubt that, absent an actual court order, CNG would hold onto the coins or send them back to the consignor, they&#039;ve been in the business long enough to know how to navigate these situations appropriately, and I know from other previous cases that they do work closely with consignors when issues come up(e.g. when an estate was supposed to have donated a coin to an institution but, in the midst of selling several thousand coins, missed the instructions for one).</p><p><br /></p><p>The consignor, CNG and Yale have more information than we have, though it sounds like they don&#039;t have all the answers either.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
