<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ToughCOINS, post: 1790557, member: 20480&quot;]I hear you, but get this . . .</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In my 6 years selling on eBay, I&#039;ve lost 6 or 7 packages, only 1 of which was an outbound coin I was returning to the original seller.&nbsp; That coin didn&#039;t get lost.&nbsp; It was signed for, but not by the intended recipient.&nbsp; We never figured out if it was delivered to the wrong address or if it was stolen. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Even more interesting is the following . . . every one of my losses in the mail has been a gold coin . . . 100% of them.&nbsp; I estimate gold coins are less than 50% of all of my business, but if they are exactly half of all of my transactions, the odds against lost coin being gold are 2 raised to the 6th or 7th power . . . either 1 chance in 64 or 1 in 128.&nbsp; Improbable!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Now I&#039;m a pretty scientific guy and, to the best of my knowledge, there is no technology that permits one to differentiate between copper, nickel, silver and gold in an unopened package.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Why do I tell you this?&nbsp; Because most, if not all of those lost inbound packages were mailed to me with eBay / PayPal labels, displaying no outward indication of value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
