Man allegedly steals $100k coin collection then spends for face value on pizza and a movie:

Somewhat amusing. Not clear how much of the collection has been recovered.

Well i certainly hope the coins weren't dinged up too bad being handled and such to buy pizza and movies...

The pizza must have been good if he spent $100,000 on it!

On an unrelated note, has anyone heard that story about a man in Nevada that died, and when his family went to his house, they found like a million dollars worth of gold coins or something?

"Liberty quarter with an estimated value between $1,100 and $18,500."


That narrows it down.

Yeah Brad, that's the difference between whether you're selling the coin or buying it

Simon,

Did you hear that story from an Ebay sell for International Numismatic Bureau? And let me guess...they found them all hidden in a clock in a closet?

I heard it from both my mom and a family friend. I haven't investigated it, so I don't know its authenticity.

They declined to arrest the female because she was pregnant ? Now there's a free pass for any female that wants to commit a crime. You guys in Washington better watch out

...and spent so far away in Washington....How will they ever know if any of the coins belonged to them if found in circulation? Pictures?

I saw it on the news Simon...and it was more like 7 million in gold.

Simon,

I was making fun of Ebay seller International Numismatic Bureau(they've changed their seller i.d. now). Every sell they had was about finding some hoard of coins in some old dead person's house, or an old bank in a ghost town. The coins were nothing but junk.

[Brad]

Yeah Brad, that's the difference between whether you're selling the coin or buying it

Rather the difference between what it is worth, and what you are telling the insurance agent it is worth

[lineop3]

Wonder if the cashiers kept or even noticed those "odd looking coins?
Any news on any of them being found???

Late to post, but this has been on my mind since it first appeared (even though it seems half the posts are about gold in Nevada hahaha).

Being arrested, being cited, and being prosecuted are different matters. I am sure the girl involved was cited and will probably be prosecuted, but perhaps was not arrested because of possible liability should something go wrong with the pregnancy.

Actually they only mentioned that the guy was "charged"....but I read some of the comments and that if they arrested her, the state would be liable for medicals bills while detained. They will probably wait until after the delivery. Poor reporting if you ask me.
