Silvertowne had several coins stolen this week at the Cincinnati, OH show. I got a call from Rita inquiring if I had seen anything, as my table was right across from theirs. Included were several 1894 Morgans, a 1797, 1798, and 4 1799, 1800, 1802/1, 1803 dollars. A 1909-S Indian, an 1865 proof 3 cent, an 09-s VDB and many more. Most were raw. If you know anything or have an offer, Rita's number is 800-788-7481 ext 210. She can fax a list of the coins to you. Thanks for any help!

    How the heck did someone manage to grab all of those? Was it like a small box on their backup table or something?

    Maybe Bob Chambers couldn't wait for the shipment?

    Don't know if anyone has asked this yet, but how did this happen?

    We know that, but how did they steal them?

    Did they just crack open the case, shove them in their pocket and walk away? Or was it a massive heist or some kind.

    Don't know how or by whom, only that they are missing. Sorry.

    Stealing coins at shows would be easy if a person had a mind to do it.
    I've had a dealer hand me a coin or sometimes a stock box full of coins, then he'd get busy with other people and when I tried to give him his stuff back he seemed confused, having forgot he gave them to me. This has happened at least a half dozen times, and with some expensive coins.
    What I don't understand is why the dealers don't have surveillance
    cameras at their tables. These are pretty cheap now, and they can be concealed.
    The show promoters should also have cameras.

    It sounds like it may have been one of those inventory boxes of coins since they were all raw. They might have pulled one of them out
    for someone to paw through and when the dealer wasen't looking just made off with it. A guess anyway.
