As I was looking at the stuff under the counter, a pair of seedy looking 40-somethings came in and began pulling slabbed coins out of their pockets and asking how much they could get for them. The handful of people working behind the counter took each one gave them 10-15 bucks for each one they pulled out and then scurried into the back room with them. </p><p><br /></p><p>Obviously these coins were stolen and the dealer treated it like a personal windfall. I hate coin dealers for that reason and I wouldn't trust them to ever return anything. If you want to try anyway, alert Fox Valley Coins and Sycamore Coins. They are in the far western burbs and may see some of these coins. There is another dealer in St Charles but I don't know the name of it. Good luck getting them back. You are living my worst nightmare.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
