[QUOTE="rte, post: 7882098, member: 78199"]I OK with that. Outside of the coin club, not many (probably too many) people know that I dabble in coin/bullion. It helps when your buying and have a small network of people that are (in a sense outside sales reps:D) that know that I buy stuff. I know of one occasion where some person liked to show off his collection of US coins to everyone who showed interest, after many years one of the sons friends snuck thru the dog door and relieved him of his collection while they were on vacation. He kept it in the bottom drawer of his dresser. It was not secured in a safe way and never recovered. Later back in the 80ies one of the sons when he turned 17 got arrested for stealing a new truck from a dealership. The son took it for a test drive (made a duplicate key) and went back a few days later and stole it. There is a longer version of the story and some might suggest that the son was in on the missing coins from years before.[/QUOTE]
