Art1.2 Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 I've dealt with him and he sures seems to be a very nice and reliable fellow. I have to always ask myself "Why?". Wouldn't an armored car delivery or armed escorts be worth the money when there's this much at stake? It's almost a miracle that some of these dealers haven't been hurt or killed in their show travels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted June 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Two were killed! (or nearly) And I believe I've dealt with him before too at the Baltimore shows I go to. Don't remember for sure but it's still sad. As for the armored car, I assume that the paperwork is a deterrent :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricon7 Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 http://www.washingto...wprss=rss_local Seems like he was robbed of millions then they tracked down 90% of the coins (except the big ones)... Scary. I'd have my own security with so much in valuable coins, especially with criminals being so desperate now with hard times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedollarman Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 I'd imagine that the armored vehicle would draw too much attention and you never know the thieves could some how get control of the car through bribes or a variety of things, besides when dealing with $4 mill in coins you can't trust anyone and if I had that much in coins I would be the one driving.
