Some of the coins I bought from y'all three years ago were stolen in 2006 from my antique mall booth. They weren't terribly expensive pieces but there was a neat Crusader "helmet" denier and a great 1532 Salzburg 1/2 batzen with St. Rupert on it. I lost a VG Seated Liberty dollar at the same time.
It was an inside job. Some people hired to move the old owners out apparently got the keys to my cases and went "shopping" at my booth and the jewelry booth. It was the second time I got robbed under those owners. I still don't know how high up the food chain the corruption went, but so far all is well with the new owners.
