Stolen 12 Caesars in Gold

that occurred to me, what if some common criminal just melts those things down since he can't sell them....and takes remains of those lovely coins coins to a cash for gold place.

Yup that has always been my worst fear. If you are gonna steal my coins, steal em for the numistmatic value please.

It happened to an antique store close to where i live a few years back. 10,000 dollars in silver coins stolen. All the coper cents were left, including some rare indian head cents. Not a single coin has ever been found. Everyone has assumed they were melted down

 

Not I. My coins are stored in a safe deposit box and delivered to a PO box. No worries here.

 

Maybe I'm wrong but I think the thief may have known exactly what he was going after.

 

That would be a terrible loss to have 12 beautiful aureii treated like 3 ounces of common gold.

I have my coins delivered to work. Still working on the safe deposit box. They're hard to find and frequently there's a waiting list.

 

I have my coins shipped to my work as well. Mostly cause im there more than i am at home. However, i dont like safety deposit boxes. I like a hole in the ground more that bank boxes lol.

Now if i had a 12 Caesars set in gold... Well i might consider one. Or maybe more guns lol

 

I was lucky enough my mom managed the bank I use. Probably the first and last time I took advantage of a little nepotism.

 

Assuming that the criminal knew which room in which apartment in which dorm I live in, then they would have to break into a building with a state-of-the-art security system that is connected to the campus police station right down the street. Then they would have to get through two locked metal doors with locks that are incredibly hard to pick. But I still try to limit who knows about my collection.

All my mail arrives at a PO box in the campus Post Office, so that is secure as well.

As far as I'm concerned, I feel pretty safe using a forum like this, even though I don't use my name.

 

Terrible... Just terrible... My condolences.

 

Who says it's my real name? Or maybe it's my middle name.
