$80,000 In Bust Halves Stolen At Baltimore Show

Always hate to hear about such things.

I'm curious how such a theft even occurred at a show from the showcase. If they were in the showcase they were all displayed and laid out in trays of some sort. That's a pretty large group. That's multiple trays of coins. How did somebody make off with all of that from the floor?

If the dealer had insurance and they covered his loss, he did pretty darn well for his business. "retail" is even pretty loose to describe that list. I see some very high prices. He was not going to get even close to 80,000 actually selling those in the marketplace.
