I just saw something super amazing happen here where I work. A dealer at the antique mall I work at specializes in rare antique coins.
She was in rearranging her stuff on Monday. Then, later that day, we got a call from a gentleman at a pharmacy in Seattle. He found a coin on the floor with a tag on it with three cities in small print listed at the top of the price tag. The price tag was for $4000 and it was clearly a rare solid gold coin.
He called, said he''d googled the three cities listed on the tag and found our website. And perhaps did we know of a $4000 coin missing? We instantly thought of the coin dealer, knowing she had one, and called her.
"Oh. I took it out today- I can bring it back if you want." So we suggested she check and see if she had it. Of course she didn''t, it had fallen out of her pocket or something at the pharmacy.
I couldn''t believe the man who was kind enough to try to track the owner of the coin down- and to go to all the trouble when all he had was three random cities printed on the price tag for a clue. I mean, because we use that price tag in all three antique malls in three cities so we don''t even have our business name on it.
All I can say is that if the dealer doesn''t think to give him a reward I''m gonna pay for a gift cert out of pocket for him. It seriously was one of the coolest, most honest things I''ve ever seen anyone do.
