166 coins stolen during shipment

New York dealer Alfredo De La Fe reported 166 ancient coins stolen during shipment. A package from Georgia was opened and re-sealed and the empty envelope arrived in New York.

The coins can be seen at http://www.imperialcoins.com/info.asp?page=StolenCoins.

Stolen coins include Roman silver and bronze, Byzantine bronze, and Greek fractions.

A message on the Ancientartifacts list asks anyone with information to call postal inspector Michael J. Ray.
