It's a bit old but this is very relevant to all collectors especially with more valuable coins. zsmiGOZhLzY Sad to see TWO 1930 pennies went missing. Guess the lesson is one day if you are to ever sell your collections, sell them at a reputational place or coin dealers!

Similar thing happened to me in the late 1970's on the Central Coast of NSW.Left a few coins,A$200 worth,with a 2nd hand dealer on consignment. Dropped in a few weeks later to see how they were going and shop closed and empty.Neighbour said they took off one w/end owing rent,shop owner said she didn't know where they went. Lesson learnt.

Allcoinage Pillar of the Community Australia 1511 Posts	Posted 09/06/2025 5:08 pm Defacing and spray painting a coin too make a profit , very low of a dealer to do such a wrongful sale, not saying all dealers are like this just the few who make it worse for others.

David Graham Pillar of the Community Australia 1610 Posts	Posted 09/16/2025 01:36 am Sorry, but I see no evidence that there were ever any 1930 pennies to begin with. Not saying the auction house is squeaky clean but 2 x 1930 pennies? Even if he thought he had them, no guarantee they were genuine. Did he have them listed on his contents insurance? Whole think sounds a bit suss on both sides. Edited by David Graham 09/16/2025 01:37 am Report this Post to the Staff
