Finest Known 1870 CC $20 Liberty Stolen From Brinks Shipment

I'm sure the thief can get rid of it, there is someone out there who would buy a stolen coin if they wanted it bad enough, no pawn shop required.

I'm thinking if you want to steal something worth the melt value of a double eagle, there are probably easier targets than a Brinks shipment.

 

Sure hope #1 they get the coin back and catch the lowlife responsible .

 

If it was in a secure slab , which most likely it was , they could still ID it by the hits and other telltale signs .

 

Is Brinks Insured? I believe they are bonded

 

From the article,

"The coin was shipped back to Heritage, however, in its NGC encapsulation with certification number 3414402-001."

So I assume it didn't cross

 

and the only coin being transported from PCGS. Someone knew what they were doing, lets hope the FBI catches up with them!

 

its gone it was stolen in 2011 more then likly by the driver reminds me of armored (movie)

 

This is a year old. By now, I wouldn't be surprised if the coin is placed in a collection overseas (or sadly in the US). Most likely someone who has the money that collects because they want a full set and enjoy the thrill of owning such a rare coin. Theres plenty of people with plenty of money. Heck, it might be sitting next to a 1933 double eagle.

 

I was wondering how long it would take you folks to realize that it was stolen almost a year ago. The theft is old news, the reward is new news. Why they waited so long to offer the reward I don't know.

 

The coin is probably in possession of the Taliban

 

I agree, which leans towards an inside job.

 

I know that many pawn shops have the cops on speed dial, I wonder how many calls in a year Rick Harrison makes to the LVPD?

 

I wonder, too
