Fellow
numismatics,
I started this topic with the objective of gathering together images of coins, that have mysteriously disappeared (been stolen) whilst being sent through the various postal services. I thought it would be beneficial to highlight this problem, hopefully together we can find some of the missing coins and reunite them with their rightful owners.
The
members gallery also a section named stolen coins.
First up are four coins that went missing last summer, they were posted in
Germany from a well know
auction house. I was provided with a tracking number and was updated when the postal service here in
Sweden called
Postnord, received the coins a few days after they were sent.
The tracking status remained the same for 1 1/2 weeks (arrived at sorting office), so I contacted Postnord's
head office and inquired of the coins whereabouts. They could not find the coins and began putting the blame on the different departments within the company.
I was of course reimbursed for my loss, but its hard to accept that someone, somewhere, got their
hands on my coins; which included a very
rare coin of Arados.
Edit: I will be adding more missing coins to this
thread shortly.
