I didn't see this posted and just received an e-mail from Bill Brewer:
A coin shop owner in Fayetteville, NC was pistol whipped and robbed Monday. Jim Dimmick was closing his store when 2 black males knocked on his shop door and was let in. They hit him in the face and head. He was taken to Chapel Hill Carolina and had head surgery. I will keep you posted as info comes in.
As to what was taken was a number of proof sets and silver eagles. As info is released I will be sending it also.

Bad thing happened to a great guy
Wishing him the best, and quickest, recovery
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
Sounds like this is happening more frequently these days.
I hope he makes a full and speedy recovery!
Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

Edit to add:I got one of my best coins from Jim!

Well said!!!!
I hope Jim has a speedy recovery and that the perpetrators are brought to justice.
New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
<< <i>Does anyone know what the sentence for armed robbery in NC is >>
Not long enough, get well jim!!!
Hope they catch those guys.
Get well Jim.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery Jim!

Like everywhere else, a slap on the wrist and back on the street again until the system gets tired of messing with them.
I wish him a speedy recovery. He will be in my prayers.
A note to all: With times getting worse and worse, please be careful while attending shows and functions and be AWARE of your surroundings.

Here's hoping for a quick recovery!

I agree WHOLEHEARTEDLY with this statement...an eye-for-an-eye isn't 'just punishment' when it comes to scum like these perpetrators. The 'heads on sticks' thing did work. Perhaps if this were brought back, prison over-crowding would NOT be a problem.
