<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Volodya, post: 6438166, member: 19615&quot;]Hi Mike. Clearly the boxes once belonged to Yale, but... </p><p><br /></p><p>Did Yale have any records of the coins themselves, other than merely the boxes? Photos of course would be conclusive, but I doubt they have them. Even matching weights would be of some real value as evidence. I keep going round and round about the fact that the info on the boxes didn&#039;t match the coins, at least not on the ones I noticed. It seems at least possible that the <i>boxes </i>were disposed of for whatever reason and later retrieved and reused, or even given by someone at Yale to an unnamed collector, all without any coins involved at all. That scenario would at least explain the coin/box mismatches.</p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t misunderstand; there&#039;s no veiled criticism implied by my comment. Of course you guys are doing the right thing, ethically and practically. There&#039;s no advantage to anyone in a prolonged Yale/CNG squabble that ultimately could only be resolved in a courtroom. It&#039;s just an intriguing scenario.</p><p><br /></p><p>Phil Davis[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
