Paddy Posted January 24, 2020 Author Posted January 24, 2020 The last bit on this saga - the final dealer has now been sentenced. He got away with a suspended sentence because of his health... https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-hereford-worcester-51234408 Quote
jelida Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 That is pretty much what he had been hoping, and what his solicitor expected; Wells had a much more minor role than the others, didn’t pass on any coins and apparently there was email evidence that he told the finders to take the coins in his possession back, and declare them. So he says........240 hours unpaid work is not a bad deterrent though. Takes me back to my early days spent on call for the NHS...... Jerry Quote

He's not a violent offender, and If he's unwell then sending him to prison is not in anybody's interests. Quote

1949threepence Posted January 25, 2020 Posted January 25, 2020 There's a detailed and interesting article about this matter in the January 2020 edition of Coin News (pages 37 to 39). Worth a gander if you haven't already seen it. Quote
1949threepence Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 Just realised by the way, the last few posts went into the wrong thread - should have been this one Quote
