Stolen coins in Minnesota

OLDTIMER

I'm trying to do my own investigation of my coin collection, that was stolen from my house. I collected a lot of U.S. Commemeratives, I had one graded by PCGS a 1927 Vermont graded MS60/63. I had around 33 of them taken, from my house in Minnesota, besides some rolls of uncirculated 1962 dimes, a roll of uncirculated roll of 1941 dimes, 30 or so uncirculated Silver Dollars, and a bunch of junk silver I collected back in the sixtys. They were stolen some time between June 2003 and know.

these coins came up missing sometime between June 2003 and now? so what have you been doing for the past year and a half?

anyway, since you have Zero posts, this doesn't even exist, so umm yeah.

So many unanswered questions. Oh, the mystery!

Nothing funny about someone being robbed. Sorry to hear that. But the fact that it shows that you have zero posts is humorous. Must be a ghost post.

Hi,
when I first saw this I clicked on it and there was a curt little message telling me there were no posts to go along with this thread - now I see there "is" yet the author has zero posts...this man is surrounded by mystery!

Best,
Billy

Obviously, his posts were stolen along with his coins.

Where in Minnesota do you live? I live in Minnesota - up in Duluth.

New member with 0 post count had his coins stolen between June 2003 and "know"?

Before you guys prejudge so you can say "he didn't fool me," give him a break and let him try to explain. It is possible that he last looked at the set in June 2003, and he just went to take them out and found they were gone. The truth will come out, whether he's BSing or telling the truth. Don't be so quick to mock.

I agree with Rick; give him a chance to elaborate.

OLDTIMER, if you are reading this, please answer the following questions:

1) do you have any photographs or scans of the items? I image coins that are valuable and archive them for this very reason.
2) do you have a list of the 33 commems that were stolen?
3) have you contacted every coin and pawn shop within a 100 mile radius of your home?
4) did you file a police report?
5) any suspects?
6) have you visited the local coin club and discussed this issue with them? They may know of someone who suddendly fell into a new collection of commems. It's worth a shot.
7) did you have insurance?

Items such as junk silver are nearly impossible to track down, but high grade coins that are either imaged or very well described could be tracked down. The elapsed time frame complicates things immensely. Without images or detailed descriptions, it will be difficult to find the items, unless you get a confession from the crook who stole the items.

I know what you are going through, as we just had over $3,000 in rare currency stolen from our office. We had detailed descriptions (serial numbers, signers, digital images, etc.), so we have a good chance of recovering the notes....or at least finding the crook.

Sorry about your loss. Best wishes.

I suspect foul play.......insider job possibly?

Probably a Packer fan I'll bet. Those people are incorrigible.

The "zero post" problem happened because he hit the submit button during one of the frequent forum glitches. You may notice that sometimes when you reply to a thread and it takes forever to post, it doesn't move the thread up or show the reply as last post on the page. When that happens your post count doesn't go up. Same thing here.

Good luck oldtimer...perhaps you will be able to give additional information which might help in the recovery of your items.....
