<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 831070, member: 4552&quot;]Individuals robbed of coins that have attended a coin show is a lot more common than people realize. It usually happens on the way home from a coin show, knife show, gun show, etc. Criminals know that the average person that goes to these shows carry large quantities of cash. In most instances they care little about the coins for coin value and many of the coins themselves will end up in a coin counter, pawn shop, flea market. It&#039;s really the cash they want or basically. Yes some are after the coins but getting your money from the sale of coins is time consuming, investigative wise a not to profitable product. Even more difficult to sell than a toaster of TV set. </p><p>Around areas I know of many such robberies don&#039;t even make the news since they are so common. It&#039;s usually only when someone says it&#039;s in the millions that anyone even hears about them. </p><p>For those reasons every time I read on a this forum that someone is going to ANY coin show, I stress the safety first subjects. And on top of those listings should always be what to look out for on the way FROM a coin show.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
