Sorry I did not see it posted just trying to share.
Hmm, I appreciate this thread and click on it. I thought the other one was for something like a damaged coin so I passed on opening it.
That's okay snizzle; glad you did. I missed the other one somehow (tired, old eyes).
Yes - this thread has a title that is to the point - beer and coins.
Now for the rest of the story...
Stolen - Yes
Beer - Yes
Rare Coins - ??? - Take a gander at the article in the thread @RogerB posted a link to above.
The bad news: Theft is a gross violation against a person and this person has every right to his grievances and to seek criminal prosecution.
The good news: No way this collection of thousands of coins was worth $350k, so while there was a theft, it was probably nowhere near the $350K amount.
And the worst part is, when the CoinStar rejects the silver and gold coins, they'll just leave hem in the reject tray.
My $4,000 coin collection is headed to coinstar today
Check out my quarter struck on a 25 cents planchet!

There must have been more than a few people that scavenge the regect trays on those things that had a very good day.
Looks like you also have a five cent coin struck on a nickel planchet.
I get the impression it might not make $350....
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
That other 5C was made from a special “nickle planchette”.
my special walker fity cent piece was done on a half dollar planchet. small world aint it
I suppose my $124.02 "coin collection" deposited yesterday for an Amazon g.c. of equal value, is just small potatoes.
Good luck having coin star accept the steely
It does happen, because several months ago, some thugs were seen dumping a bunch of old coins in a coin star machine at foodlion, guy happen to see them, and noticed the morgans were not going in, so he bought them from the dudes, 03-o, 99-p couple of low grade cc's and other dates. The indian cent album and buffalo nickel sets went in already, most of the silver dimes and quarters managed to get to the reject dish. Who knows what was lost??
