justin3651 Pillar of the Community United States 621 Posts	Posted 03/09/2013 03:12 am Did he try to sell it back to the dealer? the article didnt say it that I saw. from my understanding the guy went into the store and asked to look at the pricier coins in the store when the employees recognized him before he fled and then the security guard and an employee chased and caught him. Regardless, I'm glad they caught him, I hope the dealer gets his coin back. Report this Post to the Staff

markedman New Member Australia 19 Posts	Posted 04/12/2013 10:32 pm One problem trying to off load stolen items, as specific as coins (or art work), is that the word often gets around that particular coins have been stolen and other members of the numismatic community often (not always)will hear about it. I am always intrigued to hear about tracable items being stolen - you cannot exactly admit to having (for example) the Mona Lisa in your back room. Most reputable people would avoid items of dubious providence like the plague. After all, you can't exactly boast that you have a collection of stolen coins even if you are operating in the black market. Report this Post to the Staff
