  • The Coin Show put on by the Missouri Numismatic Association attracts coin dealers, numismatists, stackers, and fans of exonumia from all over the Midwest and beyond. It also attracted at least one person who had bad intentions. This video is an interview that I conducted with a local coin dealer who not only was present, but the key figure in the apprehension of a serial coin thief! I hope you enjoy watching this video and hearing this fascinating story as much as I enjoyed making it. Special THANK YOU to coin dealer, Andy for not only sharing this story, but for being the guy who stopped the coin crook cold in his tracks!

    Worked retail for sports outfit and can tell you first hand that ive had customers and employees steal from me. You name it: sneakers, boots, football jerseys.

    Got to watch for these crooks. I sell antiques and coins at flea markets on occasion, and have encountered pairs that work together, one to distract, while the other steals. The second person would get out of line of sight, and the theft would begin. More than once, I've stopped any business, and would tell the second person to not go behind me. They are quite brazen.

    As a dealer, do you think you need to setup a couple security cameras at your botth and a sign that says " smile you are on camera?" It sucks that things are this bad.
    If a dealer asked to see my attache I would happily show (out of public view) as a legitimate businessman. Maybe it would spark a good conversation and build a relationship with the dealer.

    no offense intended here but hear me out. When someone you are interviewing is telling a story like the man here, don't interrupt him with a story similar to his that YOU have. It is disrespectful to start with and shows a lack of interest on your part in that while he's talking to you, you are thinking about your own experiences and then interrupting him to tell YOUR story. This is a common theme with people who don't train themselves in interview techniques and instead of simply listening, you are listening to respond. It's very irritating and I feel for the guy who has a story and gets interrupted with, yeah I did the same thing with so-in-so and then he has to pick back up where you stopped him. I spent 30 years in media so I know of what I speak. STOP interrupting the people who are gracious enough to give you their time and experiences.
