Stolen Coin Collection Surrey



A coin collection was stolen from a house in Coulsdon Surrey. This took place between 19th January 2011 and 13th April 2011 (when the loss was discovered) but it is strongly suspected the theft was between 24th March and 6th April 2011.






In addition to coins, my collection also included bank notes, stamps and a gold chain, but the majority of the loss was coins.



The theft was discovered on 13th April and has Crime Ref: 3811136/11 and is being investigated by the Croydon Borough Investigation Team. Contacts are Det. Sgt. Richard Tribe, tel 0208 649 1336 and PC Edwards 951ZD tel 0208 649 0100 or 0208 649 0031

There was also a complete collection of farthings from Edward VII 1902 to date (1956) samples all at least in GVF condition in single coin album page – the top row of which contained about 6 or 7 Victorian farthings (I think 3 veiled heads) of different dates.



There were also loose album pages including various British coins – many not particularly valuable and only average.



Some of the better items were a 1902 shilling (GVF) , a 1906 florin (F), 3-off George VI brass 3d bits (VF – EF), and about 3-4 silver 3d's from George V and George VI reigns.



There was also a mini-pocket wallet containing amongst other coins, 2 large American Silver dollars (one 1921 in GVF).



There was a collection of about 8-off German silver coins some of which I think were from the 50's or 60's (c. GVF), and other foreign coins almost loose just in coin sleeves.



Other loose coins (only in individual coin sleeves) included 1951 Crown, 1965 Churchill Crown, 1953 Crown.



There were album pages of foreign coins from different countries, many taken from circulation but some bought.
