Terrible news. I too hope Jim recovers fully and the scumbag perps are brought to justice. This is just another reason for fellow B/M dealers to be extra vigilant and security minded. When we are closed or before we open, NO ONE gets in unless we know them well. End of day can be a particularly dangerous time... bear in mind that before long we will also be closing up and going home in the dark as the days are getting shorter. That can make us more desirable targets for thieves.
Very sad news. I don't know Jim well aside from his posts and a couple PMs. I would not hesitate to do business with him and hope to have the opportunity.
It's sad to read about this. Any time an honest person that works to pay for what they need or want has something like this happen it is sad. My best wishes for Jim D. Not pleasent thoughts for the lowlifes that did this.

PNG member, numismatic dealer since 1965. Operates a retail store, also has exhibited at over 1000 shows. I firmly believe in numismatics as the world's greatest hobby, but recognize that this is a luxury and without collectors, we can all spend/melt our collections/inventories.
I attended the Moore County Coin Club (North Carolina) meeting this evening where Jim is always in attendance. But understandably, he did not make the meeting this evening.
No new news on Jim's condition or whether the police are close to nabbing the perps.

Need the following OBW rolls to complete my 46-64 Roosevelt roll set: 1947-P & D; 1948-D; 1949-P & S; 1950-D & S; and 1952-S. Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!
I think if they catch these theives they should make them work at the mint for FREE... since they robbed someone of money... then when not working they stay in prison for a long, long time... But that other person's suggestion of making them enouchs was also good....
Seriously, I do hope they catch these lowlifes... & do put them away for good...
Those who are collecting SILVER... will be wealthy shortly!!

Hope you're feeling better very soon, Jim;
Jim was one of the first Board Members to welcome me.
I hope they get the SOB's who did that to him !!

So sad, too much to bare.

My digital cameo album 1950-64 Cameos - take a look!
not good enough.
when caught they need to have a hand cut off, they'll think twice about doing it again. Simple and should be cheaper then a few years behind bars.
Letem do it again and the other hand comes off.

I want to add my wishes for Jim to have a speedy recovery.
