now that I realise properly who your happy submitter is
then perhaps the values need to be changed to a Sterling and Currency value ha ha

This batch wasn't one of Andrews , He sent it in for one of his customers.
It would of made him look like a real Dork if they disappeared

This is just an incredible story!  I would feel bad for the customer and the dealer had the recipient of the erroneously shipped package not been such an honest person.  I hope your honesty and sense of moral duty to do what's right won't stop you from accepting some token of appreciation from PCGS.  Also, I hope that PCGS has the honesty and sense of moral duty to reward you for your actions.

Thats my main concern sending valuable Coins O/S,with grading it has a double chance of a mishap.

I have sent 25 submissions consisting of over 600 coins in to PCGS and I haven't had a problem at all
This event is totally unique

Your've been lucky then although security has improved with International Post Services over the years.I've been buying/selling with overseas clients & Dealers since the 1970's and every so often a package goes missing or is delivered all taped up with nothing inside.

Good to see your back into the swing of things.

At least the accident didn't do any damage to your integrity .

Good on you for a job well done and of course the honesty that goes with it.

I'm off to Perth today and I have the entire afternoon to myself, I don't have to front up at the hospital until Friday morning :yahoo:
I will take these coins to Fremantle and give them to Andrew.
I have saved up $10,000 to spend on coins so I am going to have a "Fat Time" browsing at Andrews store then I will be off to the City to visit Tom at WAcoins to pick up a 1916 florin I have already paid for and to pick up some Sovereigns I was ogling last time I was there.
Hopefully I will pick up some nice Maundy and Indian coins and whatever takes my fancy :dance2:

I will probably drive you mob nuts with all the pikkies when I get back home :angel:
