Dealers Rick Johnston and Connie Vanderheide have contacted CCN about dozens of missing banknotes shipped to Legacy Currency Grading, a California-based third-party paper money grading service, in April.
The notes were shipped through FedEx, which Johnston and Vanderheide said “has been totally uncooperative in giving us any information regarding the matter even though there is a case file opened on it.”
“We are working with our insurance company to see if we can get any resolution.”
