The Coin World article said that it was Alan Hager of ACG that was robbed. In the link it says it was someone named Charles Hager. Charlie
I once gave a guy a $100 reward for finding my wallet in the street when I left it on the roof of my jeep after filling it up with gas. He returned it with everything including the $100 bill and a $20 bill. The guy who slugged the robber shoulda gotten more I think. B
I dragged my best friend to the FUN show as he was vacationing here in Florida. First of all, he was amazed at all of the coins and currency on the floor and the second thing he noted was "this place is ripe for a robbery". There are millions of dollars on the floor and except for a few off duty deputies and show security, I can see why it is tempting for theives to practice their craft. When I go to a show, I am very careful with my money and my brief case. When I stop at a booth, the case either sits on my lap or is wedged in between my legs. You have to...there is just too much money primed for the taking.
Midas, How many dealers were wearing Hawaiian shirts?:whistle: Florida has some of the loosest/best concealed carry laws in the country. :thumb: Charlie
That wouldn't help you from being followed home and having the windows smashed in your car as you sat in it. These seems like pretty bold robbery attempts. In a day where people have killed over $50 in your wallet, it's dangerous to be carrying hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of anthing.
reward Was'nt that nice of the coin dealer to give the homeless guy $100 for retrieving $700,000 to $800,000, and offering a $100,000 reward for the case containing $250,000?
I could of stayed home and piled up sand bags...the point I was trying to make is that you need to use your head and take precautions. Anybody can rob anybody. You just have to make it as difficult for the thief as possible so he picks somebody else to rob. There will always be a victim of a crime...hopefully not one of us.
