[QUOTE="chip, post: 2200045, member: 19122"]Thats total BS. I collect Indian heads and if someone I knew and was close to said something like the dealer turned his head for a minute and did not see me pocket this, how much will you give me for it? I would tell them they had two choices send it back, or I would let them know who took it, they could choose which one they wanted to go with. I would hope that the coin will turn up, that it was misplaced, I know there are thieves, but what good will that coin do, they cannot sell it and hope that they will not be found out, they would have to tell the buyer it is stolen otherwise it might be for sale again and if it does come up, the buyer I am sure will let them know where they got the coin. So the only person they could sell it to would be some person who cannot show it off to anyone, for fear they will get caught and lose it, and if by some chance they quietly stick it away in their collection when they die it will turn up and it will end up destroying their estate. Because if the person is caught, unless they have immaculate records for their coin purchases every coin in their collection will be considered stolen, just like when the cops catch a burglar, they pin every unsolved burglary on them every coin in the poor dopes collection who stole them will be fair game to close any coin thefts out there.[/QUOTE]
