This is my local coin shop I do all my buying and selling at. The owner is a very nice guy and who also puts on a coin club once a month for kids 16 and under. My son (coin_surfer) and I attend this and it is great. He gives away things every meeting. It is hard to imagine anyone pocketing a coin like this when the business is open and just walking out. With the picture and vehicle description, I believe he will be caught.

Hey MU, yes, it is unfortunate, it does sound like he knew what he was looking for,I would say that pick will get him caught. HH, Maverick.

Back during the first major silver runup of "79-80 there was a shop on Euclid paying silver prices for steel cents. I kid you not, the fools actually thought they were buying silver pennies. The joke going around another shop I was frequenting at the time was they had a pile of steelies they were going to send someone in with.

". The man was driving a Ford Crown Victoria with a silver spotlight and large black antenna." Sounds like a cop car to me.

Or a retired cop car.

Dude is gonna go and buy a mountain dew with it, and then I will get at my pick up bank in 5 months. Yes, this is how this will play out.

I hate to say it but the coin is prob sold. If he knew what it was worth he had to of had a buyer. If I where the cops I would looks a forums and maybe Ebay for earlier auctions/sales. But just by the pic he will prob get caught

These old cop cars are a dime a dozen in des moines....this coin shop has bought numerous junk silver from me in the past. Good people. Stinks that there are crooks like this everywhere.

Am sure he poped it out of the case and sold it for ?? $3000?? Not bad for 10 min... work!! Am sure the coin shop guy took it from some unknowing guy screw him. It was a $200 dollar coin and insurance paid him the big bucks! Life goes on

cop, I dont think so they usually work 2 or 3 jobs to get the bills paid. He was prob a pro and knew what he was doing they said he took the most valuable coin in the store. The coin was prob sold before he he stole it.If he gets caught prob 2 to 3 years if he has a crappy lawyer if he gets a good one he'll walk. But he always has to look over his shoulder till he does.I hope he gets caught soon.

Sure let me get out my tray worth thousands of dollars so you can see....not.
I'd either hand him one coin at a time or I'd say the glass is see through buddy.
I'm sorry but if you have a tray worth 10's of thousands of dollars, I don't think I'd "let myself get distracted" as the video put.
