The curse of an honest man

[trout]

I just got back from the post office where I picked up a PCGS package thinking Jeez the post office was quick this time it only left the states on the 24th.
I open the boxes only to find they are NOT my coins.
I have a whole bunch of beautiful pre decimal coins with a numisbid value of over $35,000 that are not mine :cray:

There are multiples of the same coins in high grades so it looks like a dealers submission.
I will make a few emails and see if I can find the owners of these otherwise I will have to get in contact with PCGS .
Gawd I wish I was a dodgy bastard because most of these coins are stunning .
Have any of you guys sent some high grade predecimals away that you are expecting soon?
If so PM me with a few of the cert # so I can check and see if they are yours.

How's that for an incredible stuff up PCGS .
Sorry Mark , I couldn't help myself :angel:
All is good, I have found the owner :yahoo:
I am certain that he wont mind me taking a couple if piccis before I take them back to him on Friday.
I'll put them up in the pre decimal section

Awful stuff up by PCGS there.  I'd be fuming if it was my submission.

My main concern was finding out who owned these and getting them back to them, If they were mine and they got "misplaced" I would of been heartbroken.
There are some absolutely stunning coins in those two boxes. look at this puppy

If you got someone else's coins, who has yours?

[robbiegal]

if it's Peter
Hold him to ransom
Make him come to your place and do 'pick-up' - tell him that you require a home visit to help with your convalescing - complete with flowers and a bottle of good Victorian red!! ha ha

Mine are going through customs at the moment.
I have absolutely no idea why they sent Andrew Crellin's submission to me but they did.
I made a few phone calls and eventually found out where these beautiful coins belong.
I will be dropping these off personally because I have to go to Perth to get some work done on my arm anyway.
It will be a great excuse to spend some time at a coin shop  :angel:

A simple thank you will do me Mate :ok:
I didn't do anything special here I simply solved a problem.
All is good and everyone is happy, except the dumb arse that sent the consignment to me that will/should loose a job :dodgy:
