nealeffendi Pillar of the Community Australia 852 Posts	Posted 02/21/2017 04:25 am The story didn't say how the drug dealer acquired the coins. Odds are the dealer only got them recently from some junkie who stole them from a collector. So was that collector the thief of '72 or had he purchased them say at a car boot sale and added them to his collection along with more purchases over the years (like the bicentenary coin). Odds are there is a collector out there who was an honest dupe and now he will never get his coins back. Report this Post to the Staff
