If they were slabbed please post the certification numbers that will make them easier to identify. If not…Good luck I hope you get them back. I will keep my eyes pealed if they show up on Ebay or anywhere else.
More than likely, someone close in relationship to the victim if that's all they (bad guys) took. Was anything else taken in the 'invasion'?
Not sure. Before the holidays is the perfect time to strike or when you know someone will be away. "Home invasion"? This seems to be the preferred term for breaking and entering these days.
Not to mention Greenwich is where the money is at. Sorry about your loss, but please post the slab numbers if available and get in touch with Dave Harper at Numismatic News. He may do a piece on them to help your coverage. Also you can go to www.coindealers.org/connecticut and let some of them or all of them know to be on the lookout.
