I hope Brissyboy sees this. A bit of a long-shot considering he knows who stole his coins, but you never know, stranger things have happened.

Could these belong to the poor chap in Adelaide who went through a similar experience recently?

It's great news to see that someone might get some of their treasures back, thanks Basil and thanks for putting it up Uni :good:

But we are also hidden, whereas CCF is public. Very few know we exist.

I think it's something we all need to be aware of. I just hate the thought of someone nicking my coins. Lets hope the coppers find the owners soon.

I'm pretty sure I know the owner of these items, they seem very similar to a collection of notes/coins which were recently stolen in the area, I've contacted the person whose items were stolen and they have contacted the police and will see if the items are in fact theirs. Had it not been for the coin forum I wouldn't have been aware of this and be able to pass this info on (the potential owner of these items hadn't seen an article in the local paper nor frequents coin forums).

Thanks everyone and hopefully it's a happy end to the story, even if it isn't the collectors collection that was recently stolen they can hopefully find the rightful owner and it's a happy end to the story.

Please let us know if there is a 'happy ending' for the coins, (and invite the owner to join the forum).

Unfortunately the notes weren't the ones stolen from this collectors home, hopefully they track down whoevers notes/coins they were.

Gak - I didn't realise that that much coin collection stealing went on.

Not good.
