Title: Heads Up - Roman coins stolen in Braintree knife attack Post by: Neil on June 12, 2018, 07:58:58 AM 8 June 2018 An armed robber forced his way in to the home of a man in Essex early on Wednesday and stole a collection of 170 Roman coins. The attack happened in Blenheim Close, Braintree, just after 04:05 BST and it left the victim, aged in his 60s, with cuts, police said. The coins were kept in plastic wallets inside an A4 binder. "This was a frightening incident and I need to find the person responsible," Detective Constable Red Leeson said. "Some of the coins taken are rare and quite distinctive and I need to speak to anyone who thinks they have been offered them for sale." He appealed for anyone with information to come forward.

Wonder what ‘rare’ coins he had.
Scum again. S’pose he’d heard the word rare and thought they would be valuable.

Plus if people hear about decent finds because of age they will assume its worth money and you might get a nocturnal visitor of the human magpie variety......This is why anything i have of value is kept in my local bank vaults.....Paul. |
