I’m so sorry for who owned these coin’s,I am just now cleaning a coin collection I have that was burned when my home burned down & feeling terrible,but I had NOTHING even remotely close to these coins,the kuelest 1 had had was a 1909 penny & wheat penny’s from there on.
I can’t even imagine what the owner must be feeling. I hope KARMA rears it’s head & kicks the ass of whoever’s responsible!!
Best wishes to the owners,I really hope there found & you get them back!
Respectfully
Esther
