Wow, that is a remarkable collection!! Hope the alert gets to all local coin dealers and pawn shops- they should do that if not done already. All of those coins could not be spent due to their vintage, even if they are cracked out of the holders.

There are some amazing coins in there
Hopefully they find the thieves, but I hope they had it insured as well.

My old stomping grounds, I have an idea who the coins were stolen from (but there is so much wealth in that area I could easily be wrong), I sure hope the owner get's them back, that is quite a collection to loose.

This hits close to home. I'm not very far from Carlsbad. Hate to see this. Thanks for the list Bobby.
