My house was broken into last Thursday morning and among the other things taken was the safe (yes the entire 250lb safe) that unfortunately had several of the copper sets that I am currently working on.
Don't know if the thieves will even have a clue as to what they have if they manage to get into the safe w/o destroying the coins, but if you live in the area, please keep an eye out for the following:
Bailiwick of Jersey - complete date set pre-decimal Coppers - 1/13 shillings, 1/26 shillings, 1/12 shillings, 1/24 shillings
Bailiwick of Guernsey - mostly complete date set of pre-decimal coppers - 1 Double, 2 Doubles, 4 Doubles and 8 Doubles
British 1/2 Pence date set from 1937-1970 (circulation strikes only)
Various and sundry asian/european coppers
All of the above are raw and housed in 2x2 holders in plastic sheets in notebooks.
American Toned Proof Jefferson Nickels, various dates housed in a Complete Jefferson Nickels capital plastics holder

At least no one was there, that's what I'd try to get some comfort from.

I'm sure you already know this, but give the police a good detailed inventory in case something shows up in the system.
I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
Come on over ... to The Dark Side!
I can only repeat what the others have said, that it was good nobody was home/injured.
That's one of the sorry by-products of coin collecting these days... as much as one wants to share their hobby with others, there are always folks lurking out there waiting to pounce on that info & rob/steal at your expense..... that's why so many people use P.O. boxes & safe deposit boxes (and safes...
In the meantime, I have a handful of extra circulated 1937-1970 British 1/2-pence you are welcome to, to help ease your loss.
