<p>[QUOTE="darrowcrowe, post: 1225121, member: 27209"]True I did not pay that much for them. 68 of them were type "B" Washington Quarter reverses I had cherry picked the last ten years. One was a 1863 Indian Cent with reverse die CUD, three were Cherrio cents my kids got out of Cherrios boxes in 2000 that I was slabbing to put in the Christmas stockings, stuff like that. I did not even know that "Cherrio" cents were worth until I went on Teletrade $30-33 each to replace. A beautifuly toned 1950 Lincoln cents with colors out of this world I bought in 1995. One 1950 S/S Washigton Quarter Gem BU bought in the 90's, 1950 D/S just cherried out of "scrap silver", a 1970S prisioner cent cherried out of a roll. Just because I knew more, more likely was just lucky than who I bought them from does not mean they were not worth what I insured them for. I was not slabbing them for sale I was getting them protected so I could share pass around. It was my collection and I mailed it by what was suppost to be the most secure and safest way to do so. I was not trying to have the package lost and collect as I would like the coins back more then the money and stated so in my forms to the governent. I even filed a postal fraud claim with the postal inspectors to try and get action. But since "they" lost it they should pay me approx replacement cost. In filing the claim the sales of the coins was over $4250 that I was able to verify, I insured them for "only $3994.00" and told them that is what I would have to settle for. Just want what is due me that is all. Thanks[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
