6. Juni 2013 – Eine umfangreiche Münzsammlung wurde vermutlich um den 23. Mai 2013 aus einer Privatwohnung bei Paris gestohlen. Der Sammler bemerkte den Einbruch nach seiner Rückkehr von einer Reise. Die Einbrecher hatten offenbar das ganze Haus durchsucht, aber gezielt die Münzen entwendet. Falls Sie irgendwelche Informationen zu diesen Münzen haben, setzen Sie sich bitte per E-Mail mit Michel Prieur in Verbindung.
Anbei die Liste auf Englisch, wie sie im Cointalk forum veröffentlicht wurde.
