A is corrent because the court will grant specific performance of a contract as a remedy if money damages will not be adequate to compensate the nonbreaching party. Since the coin is rare (unique) and cannot be readily purchased in the market, the court will grant specific performance to Myers.
B is incorrect because the coin is rare; thus, the courts will grant specific performance of the contract, not compensatory damages.
C is incorrect because reformation applies to written contracts containing ambiguities and would not be an appropriate remedy in this fact situation.
D is incorrect because restitution involves both parties to a contract returning whatever they have received under the agreement. In this question, neither party rendered any performance, therefore restitution would be an inappropriate remedy.
