With times being what they are I've heard there have been a large amount of home robberies lately. At least around here. Pawn shops are having an unusual large amount of coin collections coming in. I would sure wonder if that so called milk man is in reality a milk man. Such a large amount of rare coinage would sure send up a warning flag at coin dealers around here. Of course the problem with a coin collection is no possible serial numbers or other tracable methods.
