That's disgusting. Makes me sick to think that this would happen. It's the same with art theft.

How do you break into a Brinks truck? Wait, that's a rhetorical question! I don't really want to know!

I say give it a month or two and the culprit will have most likely been found and the coin safely back in the hands of the Collector community.

Actually I bet the coin will not turn up. The thieves probably thought they were just stealing old gold coins. Once they realize that they can't get away selling this particular piece because it would indicate them as the thieves....they'll melt the coin down to sell it as gold. It will be lost forever. isn't that what happened with the stolen shipwreck gold treasure in Florida. Stolen, never recovered, and believed melted down so as to not be identifiable as a stolen piece

I work for a major airline and have had Brinks drive up to the plane, guns out, watching us load bags of $3,000,000 cash.
Maybe that's what they should have done with this coin....you think?
Air travel as opposed to ground?

Air travel as opposed to ground? Not to get off topic but that sounds like a cool job. I've always wanted to work for airlines for some reason. What do you do? |

That's ironic cause, I've always wanted to work somewhere with my guns out!

Air travel as opposed to ground? Wouldn't have mattered because it had to have been an inside job. Video shows it was there and in good shape when it went into the Brinks container, and it was missing when they took it out of the Brinks container on arrival. Quote:
"This rarity was not only newly discovered and the finest known, but it was a gorgeous coin and the best ever seen in the marketplace." Isn't that a bit redundant? If it is the finest known, by definition there couldn't have been a better one seen in the marketplace. Well I take that back, if the finest known has never traded hands I guess a lesser piece could be the best ever seen in the marketplace. |
