As most of you have heard, a major theft happened after their auction sale, where many Fedex packages were stolen. As per today, no list of stolen items has been issued, so unfortunately we are not able to let you know which coins are missing. They are working to it, and I was just told there will be one withing 10 working days.

Comme la plupart le savent, un vol important a eu lieu après leur vente, et de nombreux envois Fedex ont été volés. A ce jour, aucune liste des monnaies disparues n’a été établie, et je suis donc malheureusement dans l’incapacité de vous signaler les monnaies manquantes. Ils y travaillent, et viennent de me dire que cette liste sera disponible dans les 10 prochains jours

 

It is only in the past few weeks that it has become apparent that the following 44 coins as below are currently missing from a larger submission to an office in Paris that were sent via Federal Express on November 17th. It has been established that these coins went missing in the Paris area. If any member is offered these coins please report to:
