Whew!

 

Certification numbers probably mean absolutely nothing on that inventory. Chances are each and every one will be broke out and sold raw.

 

Hope I am wrong and they recover the goods quick before something like that takes place.

They are probably already cracked out and sold for bullion, including the MS65 1924s and 1927s.

 

Maybe the thieves will return the labels so the pop counts can be adjusted...?

What a bummer...Guess they didn't believe in a safety deposit box

1,000 slabs containing gold! That took more than one trip.

The article implies a quick recovery of part of the loot....suggests the perps were insiders and suspects from the beginning.
