[QUOTE="Michael Terry, post: 2315006, member: 76710"]For got I still have a couple of coins they graded in 1977, if you would like to see them. At that time I could walk in the front door to drop off My coins. In fact they helped me recover two $20.00 Gold Coins that a guy had stolen from me the night before just before I closed shop. The very next morning after he stole the 2 coins he took them to ANACS thinking he could sell them. They recognized right away where they came from. There were several coin shops in town at the time. I used a ten letter Word on the back of all coin containers, each letter repersesended a Number, so I used the letters to tell me how much I paid for the coin. Right away they knew they had come from my shop, and the way he was dressed and looked they also knew he was not a coin collector. They stalled the guy, called the Police and then called me. I arrived before the Police did. When they opened the trunk of his car it was loaded with stolen guns, Jewelery, sterling silver ware and a multitude of mergentdize. It turned out he was on probation from prison for theft. I was grateful to get my coins back, but they were held in evidence Over six months, by then the market had crashed and needless to say I lost money on both coins. In this day and age, I suggest if you have coins out that are not locked In a safe that you come up with an ideal to mark them so you can identify that the coins belong to you.[/QUOTE]
