I have been away for the last week and a couple of things have shown up... Douglas Daniels returned home in Stanislaus County, CA after attending the South San Francisco Coin, Stamp and Collectibles show and became the victim of a residential burglary which resulted in the loss of his entire show inventory. Daniels left his residence for approximately one hour and during that time suspects smashed in the backdoor and removed 4 Zero Haliburton cases full of coins. Nothing else

It seems that the victims are not always dealers but elderly as well.... So Sad Theft Gold Fiifty Pesos Detectives with the Pantego, Texas Police Department are investigating the theft of 24 Gold Fifty Peso coins from the residence of an elderly couple. The suspect/suspects may attempt to sell the coins in the North Texas area and possibly the Shreveport/Bossier City area. Anyone with information please contact: Det. Sam Nance 817-274-2511 or Doug Davis 817-723-7231 Doug @
