Questiоns 13–14 аre bаsed оn the fоllowing. Frаncis was walking home from work when he spied a coin wedged in a storm drain next to the public sidewalk. He retrieved it. Its weight and color led him to believe that the coin might be made of gold. Its inscription and shape led him to believe that it might be very old. The next day, he took the coin to the shop of a coin expert, Clarence, to solicit Clarence’s opinion about the nature and value of the coin. Clarence told Francis he would perform a valuation of the coin if Francis would pay him $15, but that he would need to hold the coin to perform the valuation. Francis agreed, paid the $15, and left the coin with Clarence. The next day, Francis returned to Clarence’s shop to regain possession of the coin and to obtain Clarence’s opinion about its value. Clarence informed him that he no longer had the coin, because one of Clarence’s employees mistakenly delivered it to another customer. When Francis left the coin with Clarence, did Clarence obtain a property right in the coin?
