Pair Arrested for Exchanging Danish Coins
Pair Arrested for Exchanging Danish Coins People usually get arrested for passing counterfeit coins or bank notes, not for exchanging the real thing. Unfortunately for two Chinese citizens things didn’t work out this way while they were recently in Denmark.
Danish authorities didn’t intend to arrest them for passing genuine Danish coins. The pair came under scrutiny when they attempted unsuccessfully to exchange large sums of current Danish coins at several Copenhagen banks. The pair were attempting to redeem a legal tender Danish kroner coins with a value of approximately $44,207. An Oct. 16 Agence France-Presse described what they had as “a massive hoard of scrap Danish coins.” Continue Reading At The Source Numismaster
Smugglers smile as NRI carriers bring gold into country legally
Smugglers smile as NRI carriers bring gold into country legally CHENNAI: Faced with curbs on gold imports and crash in international prices leaving it cheaper in other countries, gold houses and smugglers are turning to NRIs to bring in the yellow metal legally after paying duty. Any NRI, who has stayed abroad for more than six months, is allowed to bring in 1kg gold.
It was evident last week when almost every passenger on a flight from Dubai to Calicut was found carrying 1kg of gold, totalling up to 80kg (worth about Rs 24 crore). At Chennai airport, 13 passengers brought the legally permitted quantity of gold in the past one week.
"It's not illegal. But the 80kg gold that landed in Calicut surprised us. We soon got information that two smugglers in Dubai and their links in Calicut were behind this operation, offering free tickets to several passengers," said an official. The passengers were mostly Indian labourers in Dubai, used as carriers by people who were otherwise looking at illegal means, he said. "We have started tracing the origin and route of gold after intelligence pointed to the role of smugglers," he said. Continue Reading At The Source India Time

Fake Coin Scam a Sophisticated Threat
Fake Coin Scam a Sophisticated Threat Our store is not normally open on Saturdays. One Saturday I had an appointment with a longtime client. While there, a man in his 30s came in and mentioned a Carson City dollar for sale.
The man came to the counter when I was ready. To my surprise, he produced an AU-50 Professional Coin Grading Service certified 1889-CC dollar. He told me he had inherited it along with many other coins from his grandfather and produced a copy of a 2007 auction bill from a well-known company in his grandfather’s name along with the accompanying auction listing and photo. He had the same family name as his grandfather. I looked at the coin, went to my computer and checked the PCGS listings to make sure the numbers matched. They did. I did notice that the toning (light gold) was a little more apparent than in the photo but that is not unusual because of lighting effects during photography. I then looked up actual bids on one of the major trading systems and mumbled that the low bid was $2,700 but that was pretty cheap. Then before I could mention bids of more than double that he stated that he felt the coin was worth at least $3,500. My heart raced and I asked are you sure? His reply was he wouldn’t take less than $3,300. I hesitated and said OK. While I began doing the paperwork and recording his photo I.D. we had a pleasant conversation, but something was lurking in the back of my head. Continue Reading At The Source Numismaster
Thief Caught on Video Breaking into Holladay Coin Shop
Thief Caught on Video Breaking into Holladay Coin Shop (KUTV) A Holladay shop owner who came out of retirement less than three months ago to share his love of coin collecting with the community woke up to an early morning break-in on Sunday.
"It's been a long day. I didn't get much sleep last night," said Michael Hansen, owner of Majestic Coins. "You have to feel violated." Hansen's surveillance system caught the thief kicking in the door shortly after 4 a.m., and pulling off a smash-and-grab that lasted less than a minute. He took off as the security alarm sounded, and Unified police arrived in just a few minutes.
"He came in, he had a gym bag or something, he took out a pipe wrench, smashed [the display case], grabbed several of the state quarter books, leaned across, picked up a box of proof sets that I just bought yesterday," Hansen said.
The burglar, who was wearing a distinctive red and black coat, white ball cap and black gloves, also snatched four Eisenhower proof dollar boxes, worth about $80 each. He estimates the stolen coins will cost him about $700.
"I was looking forward to having them," Hansen said. "It's Christmastime, and people are looking for gifts to give their kids and grandkids, and proof sets are a very popular item."
Hansen spent much of the day cleaning up broken glass and repairing his front door. A new door and display case will cost him another two to three thousand dollars, he said.
Unified police told Hansen they were responding to two other early-morning burglaries in the area and weren't sure whether or not they are all related, Hansen said. Hansen estimated the burglar is a white man who is in his 30s to 40s and stands about six-feet-tall. "Let's catch the guy and put one more individual out of this kind of a business," Hansen said. Anyone with information about the crime is encouraged to call Unified police. Continue Reading At The Source KUTV

In India, smugglers move gold like narcotics
In India, smugglers move gold like narcotics
(Reuters) - Indian gold smugglers are adopting the methods of drug couriers to sidestep a government crackdown on imports of the precious metal, stashing gold in imported vehicles and even using mules who swallow nuggets to try to get them past airport security.
Stung by rules imposed this year to cut a high trade deficit and a record duty on imports, dealers and individual customers are fanning out across Asia to buy gold and sneak it back into the country.
Sri Lanka, Thailand and Singapore are the latest hotspots as authorities crack down on travellers from Dubai, the traditional source of smuggled gold.

Home break-ins target Asians, high-end valuables: Ottawa police
Home break-ins target Asians, high-end valuables: Ottawa police
Ottawa police say a string of break-ins have targeted Asian homes, with the goal to get high-end gold jewelry.
So far, nine homes have been hit in the past three weeks, with the break-ins taking place in the daytime. Jewelry, gold bars, coins and other accessories, like high-end handbags, have been ripped off, with each haul costing the homeowner tens of thousands of dollars. But police say the crimes have another disturbing similarity: all of the victims either own or work in an Asian restaurant. “These are definitely targeted,” said Ottawa police Staff Sgt. Kal Ghadban. “There’s a whole bunch of different theories we’re looking at right now.”

Gold bars worth $1M found in plane lavatory
NEW DELHI (AP) -- Cleaners found a stash of 24 gold bars worth more than $1.1 million hidden in an airplane lavatory after a flight from Bangkok arrived in eastern India, officials said Wednesday.
The Jet Airways plane had landed in Kolkata and was being cleaned before a scheduled flight to Patna when the cleaners found two bags with the gold stashed inside, Customs official Mona Priyadarshini said. Priyadarshini said the gold bars weighed around 1 kilogram each. Customs officials confiscated the stash and are investigating.
India is one of the world's biggest consumers of gold. The government increased the gold import duty recently, which officials say has encouraged smuggling.

Vancouver man accused of antique coins theft
LONGVIEW - A Vancouver man has been arrested on suspicion of stealing an antique coin collection, estimated to be worth $100,000, after he spent some of the rare coins at a movie theater and pizza restaurant, Woodland police said.
One of the coins was a quarter worth thousands of dollars that the suspect spent at face value, according to investigators. A Woodland woman, whose mother had collected the coins, reported the collection missing in May. She said the collection, kept in boxes in her garage, included Liberty Head quarters, Morgan dollars and many other coins, some of which date to the early 1800s, police said in a report filed this week in Cowlitz County Superior Court.
Dakoda Garren, 19, had been a suspect in the theft all along, police said. The victim told police in May that she hired Garren and his live-in girlfriend, Elizabeth Massman, to do some work around her house and that the pair had been the only ones besides family members to get near the coins. Garren, however, denied the allegations at the time and told police they “didn’t have any evidence against him,” according to the report. Continue Reading At The Source The Columbian
Michael Aikens pleads guilty in gold coins murders
Michael Aikens pleads guilty in gold coins murders
Click to viewLAFAYETTE, LA (Michael Aikens, one of five men accused in the murder of three people during a home invasion, pleaded guilty to first-degree murder Tuesday. Aikens, 36, of Gonzales, agreed to plead guilty to three counts of first degree murder in exchange for three life sentences with no possibility of probation or parole. Aikens is the first of the five suspects to go on trial.
He was charged with first-degree murder in connection with the February 2012 deaths of Robert Marchand, 74; his wife, Shirley, 72; and her son, Douglas Dooley, 50. Investigators said he and the other four suspects were trying to steal gold and valuable coins from the Marchand's home in Ascension Parish. Aikens worked for the couple.
Deputies with the Ascension Parish Sheriff's Office went to the Marchands' home on Babin Road on Feb. 18, 2012 after family members were unable to get in touch with them. Robert Marchand and Dooley were already dead when deputies arrived on the scene. Shirley Marchand was clinging to life. Investigators said they were all found with their throats slashed. Shirley Marchand died almost two weeks after the attack.
Authorities said there was no forced entry into the home. A safe containing about $500,000 in gold coins was taken from the house. The safe was found two days later at a park in Livingston Parish. It had been torched open and most of the contents removed. The coins are still missing.

BBB: Rare coins business warning
BBB: Rare coins business warning (KTVI)Chris Thetford spoke with Elliot Weiler about this latest business warning. An Ohio company that came under Better Business Bureau (BBB) scrutiny two years ago for “chronic and flagrant” issues with its newspaper and magazine advertising appears to be at it again - this time marketing common buffalo nickels as valuable and “nearly impossible to find.”
The company, Arthur Middleton Capital Holdings of North Canton, Ohio, has been selling the nickels throughout Missouri and Illinois in recent months using promotions in area newspapers and magazines. The coins are sold through the Arthur Middleton subsidiary World Reserve Monetary Exchange.
“Ads that are specifically designed to stretch the truth are not in the public’s interest,” said Michelle L. Corey, BBB president and CEO. “Once again, it appears that Arthur Middleton is willing to play fast and loose with the truth to sell its products.”
World Reserve Monetary Exchange, which also uses the name Universal Syndications Inc., has an “F” rating with the BBB, the lowest possible. The BBB has closed about 260 complaints against the company in the last three years.
Advertisements published in May in the Belleville News-Democrat of Belleville, Ill., and last month in Parade Magazine, a nationally distributed publication that was inserted in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, read: “Public gets Vault Bags full of rarely seen U.S. Gov’t minted coins.”
The BBB says that several parts of the ads have the capacity to mislead the public. They include:
A photograph of a 1913 Indian head buffalo nickel used to illustrate the advertisement. The BBB maintains that the 1913-dated nickel that is pictured has more value than and is not typical of the coins contained in the bags that are sold to the public.
The use of the word “valuable” and other potentially misleading phrases designed to communicate a high value to uninformed buyers. Among the phrases: “Vault Bags full of valuable Indian Head coins.

When he dropped it on the ground, it popped open and contained microfilm inside. The microfilm contained a series of numbers.
