Stealth security at a local B&M

bestday

While checking out the a local B&M today ..I saw a sight to behold.. A male walked into the store with a plastic pail and some wash rags.Out of the pail, he pulls out 15-20 PCGS Gold - Double Eagles and Saints, to sell to the B&M dealer.
Do other dealers operate with such stealthiness ? This person did end up selling the whole lot , after some back and forth haggling

Good way not to get mugged from the car to the shop..

Did you happen to hear what they paid for the wash cloths

It's the same at coin shows. Some people pull very expensive coins out of their pockets or brown paper bags!

I have a special spot I hide the coins I bring to coin shows... that's why you'll never see me sitting down until all the coins are sold!

Next time he could bring them to the shop inside a vacuum cleaner.

Was he a bank employee?

I think your coins are worth less now.

Coins, cash and other valuables are best concealed in places people would least expect. A paper bag that looks like someone's lunch works better than a sack with a $ sign on it

I feel the same way about security at coin shows. Attentive, inconspicuous surveillance works a lot better than a bunch of thugs terrorizing people at the front door trying to act tough.

I dress down on purpose.

I've had people go to sit down next to me on the bus and decide to sit somewhere else.

I take that as "plan working."

And you wonder why people call you coins POS.

A large packet of potato chips on your lap will provide the same results : )

No, they come out as gassed gold.

good way of not bringing attention to yourself.

habaraca

all actions or appearances convey information......

so just what do you want to be saying.....

As a professional Nature Photographer I have had to park my truck in many tourist traps where many cars are broken into. Kinda scary leaving 20K worth of photography equipment in my truck when I go on a hike. So my solution is to look like a vagabond, drive an old truck, and literally place trash, (ie fast food wrappers) all over the front of the truck. I don't have a bumper sticker that says "I stop for photos".
