    Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.

    << <i>That's well into the six figures. I hope the victim uses the sharpest methods to make sure law enforcement or a PI is able to track this down.

    Also I got an alert on Coinplex from Mr. Hamrick on a customer the other day:

    A GOOD CUSTOMER BOUGHT AN 1875-CC $20 FROM US AT ANA IN NEW ORLEANS. IT
    IS NGC AU55 CAC SERIAL NUMBER 3686314-001.

    A BLACK MAN THEN STOLE HIS BRIEFCASE WHEN HIS WIFE WAS WATCHING IT WHEN ANOTHER BLACK MAN DISTRACTED HER. POLICE RECOVERED THE BRIEFCASE OUTSIDE THE CONVENTION CENGTER EMPTY OF COINS, CASH, AND LARGE SIZE NOTES.

    IF YOU ARE OFFERED THIS COIN, PLEASE LET US KNOW AND TRY TO HAVE PARTY ARRESTED FOR US. ANY HELP APPRECIATED >>




    Here's the image of the stolen 1875-CC $20 Liberty

    Feel bad for the owner but seriously, this is Hammond Indiana. Just as bad if not worse than Gary, Indiana.

    Definitely no where near as bad as Gary, but, still pretty bad.

    I hope he gets it back. Jesse's a good guy.

    I'd guess the shop was probably closed.

    It's difficult to assist in the recovery of stolen graded coins without knowing the cert numbers.

    The decline from democracy to tyranny is both a natural and inevitable one.

    Link.

    Still not a lot of info.

    There are a few surprising details though.
