I consider Julian a great numismatist and a friend, but he chose a course of action which we coin dealers KNOW has severe risks. Just recently Claude Burgan of Paris, France was robbed by gunmen. Holding his wife hostage at his home, the robbers forced Claude to go to his shop or office and get the coins. Fortunately, after being satisfied with the loot, they left Claude and his wife apparently unharmed. But there is still no comparison between these two robberies. I will make a $5000. USdollar contribution to the IAPN for additional reward money to help catch and convicts the perpetrators of this crime in France. Julian has my sympathy but I feel no obligation to finance his carelessness.
