Message:: [QUOTE="KLJ, post: 204654, member: 1910"]I went to one of the local coin shows on Saturday.  Bought a few not particularly valuable items, but enough of them that I spent more total than I usually do.  I also took my binders of a full set of circulated Mercs (including 16D and 21 & 21D) as well as my Walker set.  I always do when I go to shows, figuring I can improve the condition of some of my more well-circulated examples.  When I got home that evening, about 6 hours after the show, after running a few errands, MY BINDERS WERE GONE!  We're probably talking about a value of $2000 - $2500 total. I called the bourse chairman - who happens to be an officer of my local club - and he said he had my binders.  A dealer had turned them in.  My heart then started beating again.  I drove back to the show Sunday and picked them up.  Not a single coin was missing.  That dealer - who had pretty good prices anyway - now has a VERY loyal patron.[/QUOTE]
