EARLY COPPER ROBBERY

John Baumgart posted the following notice to other internet mailing lists, and since the nature of the material is very specialized and of interest to many of our readers, I'll repeat it here:

"Tom Reynolds, one of the premiere dealers in early American copper (colonial issues, large cents, half cents) was robbed of approximately $1 million in inventory in Omaha Sunday night. Please watch for any choice early (pre-1857) U.S. copper being offered for sale. A reward has been offered for return of material Contact Tom Reynolds or the Omaha (Nebraska) Police Department with any information."
