<p>[QUOTE="Suarez, post: 3364371, member: 99239"]John, sorry to hear about your loss of two aurei. That is unbelievable. I know this is pretty far back in CNG's history but I'm surprised that they lost such valuable coins in transit. They always send registered mail with the coins literally glued to the inside of the box. This is a trick to avoid a carrier slitting open the package (since it's easily visible when it passes through the x-ray machine) and then letting the empty box go back into the mailstream. It is also the tactic used by bullion sellers and I've adopted it too when selling precious metals.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, you should post the photos of the coins and do a search to see if it's turned up somewhere so you can claim them or at least put pressure on the current owners.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have Triton I digitized, let me know if you need the photos.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

Anyway, you should post the photos of the coins and do a search to see if it's turned up somewhere so you can claim them or at least put pressure on the current owners.
