<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bonedigger, post: 322174, member: 4367&quot;]As we all here understand the value of our respective collections is an important aspect of the hobby.&nbsp; And, the more valuable a coin is, usually the more desirable it is.&nbsp; The more desirable it is the more someone else wants it or one like it, etc....</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a scenario which has played itself out numerous times in various situations.&nbsp; Unbeknownst to you a coin you&#039;ve recently acquired is on a HOT LIST.&nbsp; I mean it&#039;s a stolen coin and is been placed on a &quot;look out for&quot;&nbsp; list of stolen items.&nbsp;&nbsp; How would you handle a situation if the police came to your place of business, home, or office and said, &quot;I&#039;m Officer ______ _____ , and I believe you have a coin which has been determined to be stolen from ____ _____.&nbsp;&nbsp; You are not a suspect in the crime, never-the-less the coin in your possession was stolen and we&#039;re here to retrieve it and return it to the rightful owner.&quot;&nbsp; What would you do, the private collector?</p><p><br /></p><p><b>To add a little perspective to the question, the local dealer in town has on numerous occasions declined to purchase items from individuals he has gotten a &quot;Bad Vibe&quot; from so to speak. Maybe it&#039;s a obviously shady looking character with a paper or plastic grocery sack full of gold &amp; silver bullion or a couple of kids who are constantly looking over their shoulder and don&#039;t want their name recorded for any reason.&nbsp; He&#039;s told them to leave his shop and don&#039;t come back.</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Take Care</p><p>Ben[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
