Interesting development from a an interesting part of Texas , while its easy to assume the worst in these types of situations , I couldn`t help but wonder : is it possible that this couple were coin collectors as well as being drug dealers ?
Assuming they accepted the coins as payment for contraband , then they must be knowledgeable enough about coins to assess their value hence my mulling on the possibility of them being collectors in addition to their other nefarious business .....
