[QUOTE="nerosmyfavorite68, post: 25446957, member: 134416"]Ugh, after going through all the rigamarole and writing a report (and slipping in a mention of all the priority mail maulings I had) on the postal inspection site, it says this item is not eligible for an enquiry, but rather a postal refund (of the $30 shipping). It also said that a report had been put in, so it appears that the seller was on the up and up about that, not that I had too many doubts. I guess my 30 year streak is still good. I have zero (purchased by me) slabbed coins. Pretty much my only hope is that it fell behind a machine or something of that sort. I'm sure I'll get the purchase price back, but it stinks that both the seller and myself are out something. The seller had also mentioned that USPS doesn't honor insurance on coins, so he had been out the money on a previous loss. That slab probably stuck out like a sore thumb, or showed up in the x-ray, and was swiped. We have similar x-ray machines at work, so it would probably show what's inside. That's another beauty of ancient coins. They generally aren't slabbed. The coin wasn't tremendously expensive, around $130, but it is certainly annoying.[/QUOTE]
