Interested in error coins?
http://www.error-coins.com - A work in progress (lack of progress really).

Nick is a DICK!

wow, you wonder if those guys knew what they got, or if the stuff will be
ditched or sold at flea markets. it would seem that is they go to any
honest dealer he will smell something fishy and alert the police.

glad your parents are ok.

good luck,

Nick is a DICK!

I posted it over on my site too Jason. Hopefully, they will catch them.

I hope they catch the scum that did
this and that the coins are recovered.

It looks like a classic case of someone
following a car all the way from the show
and they made their move when the
time looked right.

It is possible they cased out the dealer
at the show and knew exactly what they
were after.

wow, you wonder if those guys knew what they got, or if the stuff will be
ditched or sold at flea markets. it would seem that is they go to any
honest dealer he will smell something fishy and alert the police.

My guess is that he was followed and the thieves knew what they could get.
The slabbed coins will probably be cracked out and disbursed throughout the
ring that set him up.
