Robbery! – Be on the lookout for coins stolen from the Annandale Coin Show in December 2023. A list of these stolen coins is available here.
Many were PCGS or NGC slabbed, high grade, Imperial Russian coins from 5 Kopeks to 5 Rubles and fully identifiable by looking at their images at PCGS and NGC.
Many US and foreign gold coins were also taken.
Talk with Parry Bragg by phone at 804 652-9183 if you see any of these stolen coins.
SCAM! – Beware, several VNA Officers' emails have been hijacked and spoofing scammers are sending out requests for gifts cards and Zelle payments.
No VNA officer will ever email you asking for money. Please be careful and check, not just the name, but the return email, to verify that the sender’s email matches with those listed for VNA officers in this newsletter.
The 65th Annual VNA Convention was September 25 - 28, 2024
