Along with a 40 cal S&W, I think I would have a German Shepherd as a greeter.
If the shop owner was aware of this it may have influenced his actions.

Let his attorney know about it, he may need a defense....

I was thinking the same thing.

Knowing the media they decided that Joe Public would be more impressed with pounds over ounces.
Pounds weigh much more than the equivalent in ounces, any news anchor would tell you this.

Not if I'm on the jury.

hmm, good observation. Perhaps most of what they took was bullion? 200 lbs of coins is a lot, it does say they left behind a broken case but I don't see a case holding that much coin.
On a side note, do not make the mistake of pointing one at a police officer. Even though a taser is not deadly force, pointing one at a cop will get you shot. Tasers, or for that matter pepper spray, is enough to incapacitate a person. Incapacitate a cop and he/she could loose his weapon, loose their weapon and they or someone else could get killed, hence the reason for use of escalating force. I know no one here is dumb enough to do that, but I keep hearing about more and more bad guys using tasers, and it's just a matter of time before someone is killed using one. I can see it now... the anti gun lobby and the media will have a field day screaming that someone innocent was killed for pointing a taser at someone who is armed. It's only a matter of time.
Two white males in their late 20's-early 30's, 6'2 & 6'5, both w/dark complexion & long sideburns.
Art was tasered and then handcuffed while they ransacked the store.
Among the stolen items:
1893-CC SEGS MS-66 $1
8-PCGS MS64 $20 St.G
3-PCGS MS63 $20 St.G
10-PCGS MS63 $10 Lib
several BU $1 rolls
Boxes of common silver dollars in 2x2's
For further info call Salem (OR) Police Department (503) 588-6123, reference: Capital Coin Shop robbery.
Thanks.
50-piece set of Harley-Davidson 1-oz. silver rounds, each different, commemorating 50 years of H-D motorcycles (1959-2008?)
40- 1 oz. Stillwater Palladium bullion coins
Many nice gold nuggets
All of the gold jewelry
All 3-ring notebook binders of coins in 2x2's (From Large Cents thru Kennedy Halves)
3 Double Row boxes of Morgan & Peace Dollars in 2x2's, grading G- MS63 (mostly VF-MS60+)
Apparently one or both suspects had visited the store on Tuesday and purchased a cheap coin (while casing the situation.)
As the Statesman newspaper article indicated, about 200 lbs of inventory was stolen. Those 3-ring binders and double row boxes account for much of this weight.
Hopefully these thieves will be apprehended and brought to justice! (Where's Willie's Great-Grandpappy?)
<< <i>Hopefully my two previous replies will help explain the 200 lbs. of coins taken. >>
Thanks for clarifying the heist....some valuable numismatic items have been taken from the good guys.
I hope Art will be OK thru this harrowing ordeal!!!
Please let the forum know when the perps are nabbed, cupronik!!!
