<p>[QUOTE="4to2centBC, post: 2265332, member: 76181"]Short version. Burglary 3 years ago, collection stolen. Posted photos of stolen coins at Forum and Ancients, the British medal was recognized by a coin dealer (Copper Penny). He was being offered the medal by another coin dealer who was being offered it by a shady pawn broker. Wayne at Copper Penny then found it on-line, tracked it back to the original VCoins dealer (whom I bought it from) who contacted me to tell me the medal had been located. Copper Penny gave me the Pawn Broker....who tried to charge me a few hundred dollars to get it back (he paid $32 silver value for it), the cops seized it instead. The girl who sold it (stripper) would not flip on the thieves. She got probation. My other coins are still in the wind. So I got this back and it now has a provenance that somewhat mirrors it rebel/criminal Jacobite origins. The story has many twists and a nice ending, but after 3 years, I usually only give the short version.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
