CRIME ALERT



A collection of Spanish Colonial Coinage was stolen from a part-time dealer in Port St. Lucie, FL on February 18, 2011.



The collection comprises 136 Spanish coins, mostly cobs from early Potosí through the late 1700s. Some Mexico mint. Also included were several Pillar Dollars, Portraits, Old World cobs, and a few smaller denomination cobs and Old World milled coins. The only gold coins in the collection (quantity 5) were not genuine. The collection was in a safe and the entire safe was taken. The safe also contained a quantity of gold jewelry including a string of antique pearls, a large man's ring with a ½ carat diamond, a 2-real 1711 Lima cob bezeled in 14 K, and numerous other necklaces, rings, and a ladies watch with bracelet / band in 14 K.



There is a $2000 cash reward for information leading to the recovery of the contents of the safe.
