<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 710568, member: 15309&quot;]How about this for scary.&nbsp;&nbsp; A few years ago, I consigned about $10,000 in coins to a well known dealer.&nbsp; I was instructed to send the coins express mail and then he would draft the consignment agreement which I would sign before the start of the auction.&nbsp; Nothing out of the ordinary at this point.</p><p><br /></p><p>A few days after mailing my coins, I was cruising the NGC forum and found a thread exclaiming that the dealer I just sent my coins to was retiring, selling his business, and leaving the country.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; I thought they were kidding around until I went to Heritage and found much of their inventory consigned to the upcoming signature sale.&nbsp; Included in the Heritage sale were some of my coins.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; At this point, it dawned on me that I did not have a signed consignment agreement that listed all the coins I sent.&nbsp; PANIC!</p><p><br /></p><p>In the end, all of my coins were returned with the exception of the coins in the Heritage sale for which I was sent a check.&nbsp; Do I worry about a dealer stealing my coins? Unfortunately, yes I do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
