Very sad news....

I got this email through my coin club don't know anyone from that town but very sad story.. Please be careful or carry a gun.

A member of the West Hernando Coin Club left home Wednesday to make a coin transaction and hasn't been seen since. The police found his vehicle in a storage unit parking lot in Pasco county and said there's evidence of foul play in the truck. They found a body in the woods nearby last night but haven't identified it yet. He met with another investor to make a transaction and the news has posted photos of both men and asked for help in locating either. Nothing yet.

This collector usually carried high value gold and silver coins and sets with lots of cash for purchases.

Please remind Ocala CC members and other friends to be cautious and safe when meeting people for transactions.

If I hear more, I will let you know. Not sure if you get BayNews 9 or not, but they are following the story.

here are some more updates

victims name Billy Shuler age 69

On May 21, Shuler, of 19 Hemlock Court in Homosassa, told his wife he was going to Holiday to meet with Anthony Maresca, 51. They had worked together selling at area flea markets.

I heard from locals that he carried 30 or 40 thousand in cash on him regularly and did deal over 100k with ease and had tons of silver and gold coins on him regularly.
