<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 700274, member: 19065&quot;]Err... what? How do I figure into this Yankee? </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, this story is over two years old from 8.17.07 on CoinNews and there&#039;s very little written about it from online sources. The Paris News story was published on 5.22.2007. I simply don&#039;t understand how the story appears in 2007 but deals with sealed 1996 coins. That should offer some clues to suggest possible scenarios in tracking an owner, the Mint if lost for 10 years, and so on. It&#039;s also rather hard to believe that no one and no business ever came forward, reported such a loss to any shipping company, filed a police report, posted their loss online, notified dealers or pawn shops, bullion houses, placed any insurance claim nor contested the Herron&#039;s receipt of these coins after turning them in, especially since the Secret Service was contacted about this find by a local Sheriffs office. That Federal authorities were contacted might have gotten the Mint involved who ought to be able to track anything they&#039;d be shipping or missing... Are not the green monster boxes only shipped from the Mint to the authorized bullion dealers and from there (reasonably) handled/protected/insured by armored car shipment if moved? Here&#039;s a link to <a href="http://theparisnews.com/story.lasso?ewcd=193f2bb23a97c2bf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://theparisnews.com/story.lasso?ewcd=193f2bb23a97c2bf" rel="nofollow">The Paris News</a> article with a few details not in the CoinNews write up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
