Warning re: seller of counterfeit bullion

CaptHenway

Received this notice from the Chicago Coin Club and am passing it on:



COUNTERFEIT SUSPECT


Dealers in Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma and Kansas should be on the look out for a suspect selling counterfeit coins and bullion within the last ten days. The suspect has been identified as Gabe Owen and sometimes uses the alias Garet or Gabriel Owen. Owen is a white male and uses a Kansas driver's license or a passport as identification. The vehicle driven by Owen is a white Yukon or Tahoe.


Owen is attempting to sell gold bars, one ounce gold eagles, a 1795 PCGS VF dollar and silver eagles. The same suspect was identified in similar incidents and reported by NCIC approximately one year ago.


We are working with authorities to get a current photo. At the present time there is no outstanding warrant for this subject.
