One other thing - even if this story is real - 'dumb' thieves have been known to blow out stolen collections at someones 'yard sale' or flea markets. I have read numerous stories about such events. Everyone knows about 'Littleton', so it would not take a genius to make up such a story in order to move these. Any logical truthful individual who was trully associated to the hobby would never rip themselve off - unless these are hot. Too much exposure to take them to a dealer. One other possibility - albeit remote- the guy inherited them - from someone who DID work for Littleton, and is trully a dumb dumb... He is rretelling a story about them and ws too lazy or uneducated to check them out - and the price he asked is an old price from some time ago. I have runinto old timers selling nice coins at 'old ' prices - and I have told them to go get a new RedBook and reevaluate before they lose a lot of money ! If this is real - I would personally let the cops know about it - if this was your collection that got stolen - wouldn't you hope that if someone got them cheap at a yard sale - they'd be decent enough to check if such a collection had been stolen ? I would - there is no joy in getting hot coins at a great price. |

honestly... I would have a really hard time giving the coins up if I acquired them like that.
Just being realistic

Obviously this story is a lie.
A very pathetic attempt, unless It was an April Fools Joke! And if so you did an extremely good job at fooling everyone.

Sorry. Just call me old fashioned, but the last time I checked, April Fools was April 1st, not March 29th.

More like I got caught spinning up a story so I'll find an excuse... April Fools Day is 3 days away but that's close enough. The thing about this forum, that offends me, is the preface that the number of posts a person has makes them more credible as a person. Hey I could sit on the net all day and respond to every post, and accumulate thousands of postings, this makes me no more credible in my mind than if I had just posted once^^ And that is how someone replies when they get called out on their April Fools joke  Edited by 1sikevo
