<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Owle, post: 1417764, member: 22004&quot;]Good points.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>One of the biggest problems with stolen merchandise is their profitability and difficulty of tracking.&nbsp; Let&#039;s say a thief gets a bunch of coins and a proof Stella or similar rare coin that was certified.&nbsp; There are unfortunately unscrupulous dealers who will make cash offers for such rare coins unless the coin(s) is on lists of stolen merchandise that they know about.&nbsp; A dealer willing to trade for the Stella or make a low cash or bullion offer, may think that the seller is just unusually private, or is trying to minimize their tax exposure.&nbsp; If he buys it raw or in a different holder than it had been in will law enforcement be able to connect the dots?&nbsp; I don&#039;t think there are many examples of them successfully doing so.&nbsp; It takes a really high profile case, like the Julian Leidman caper where the merchandise was just too hot to fence anywhere in the U.S..[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
