Four missing coins
« on: February 28, 2016, 10:26:35 AM »
An eBay customer that I have sold many coins to had some coins go missing. The package was marked as delivered by the postman, but it was apparently delivered to the wrong person or stolen after delivery. Anyway, it has been several weeks and the coins have not been returned and it seems likely that they will not. Below are pictures and description in case anyone happens to see them.
