    No worries.

    Actually, I haven't read the auction terms or asked the seller for their policy. I'm assuming that the seller will provide a refund or credit. The seller opened the claim with Fed Ex & the seller is keeping me informed about this case resolution. Fed Ex only concluded that it is lost yesterday (Friday).

    Yep. If/when Fed Ex delivers the coin I will update this thread & have a party.

    It was really entertaining when Fed Ex originally called. The Fed Ex lady asked if I could describe the coin so she could tell the largest sorting facilities in the world what they were looking for.:) Take a good look at the coin & think about how you might describe the coin.:D

    They were serious so I said it was an old silver coin about the size of a quarter & sent them the photo.

    (as in thanks & praise to the coin Gods).

    I just returned from a week’s travel & found this waiting on my desk. I am so stoked.

    Nice, I had a coin end up getting marked as lost and after several more weeks, it arrived 2 weeks ago. Sent the $ to the dealer and he sent it right back to me since he knows I am honest and regular. Paypal label said "consider it a gift". A $70 coin for free, cant complain.

    Lucilla upgrade to boot :D
