<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 836062, member: 4552&quot;]Today I saw something at a coin show I&#039;ve mentioned many times before about security. At a dealers table where I mostly purchase coins, one guy was just purchasing a massive amount of coins. All were in plastic looking casses and each one individual coins. Couldn&#039;t quite see what they were and really didn&#039;t want to stand over him. All appeared to be the older dollar sized coins though. Not really meaning to pry but actually trying to see some of the coins in the cases that I was interested in, I could plainly see him writting out a check for $20,000. His check was a standard personal check with his name, address, phone number on the top and easy to read even with my lousy eyesight. He sort of shoveled all those plastic encased coins into a sachel with out much regards to safety of the coins nor who may be watching. </p><p>After he left I asked the dealer how can you trust a check for that amount and was told that guy buys similar large amounts all the time. </p><p>I sure wonder how long it&#039;s going to take a criminal to see and spot all this type of transactions. Sure wonder if he looks to see if being followed after he leaves the show. </p><p>As usual I didn&#039;t spend to much myself on coins but a dealer had his daughter there selling those girl scout cookies and I invested $20 for 5 boxes of those. It was exceptionally crowded and I found out why when someone mentioned the time. Just found out I was an hour late getting to the show due to the change last night in time here. That show normally opens at 9AM and it was already well past 10AM when I got there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
