Catching a thief or two involved a Dahlonega Mint 1845-D Liberty $5 gold coin worth almost $15,000 (retail) and the discovery of a mother-son duo connected to lost or stolen rare coin and bullion shipments with losses totaling over $500,000.
UNCOVERING THE CRIMINAL OPERATION
From Beaumont, Texas, the mother-son pair orchestrated a sophisticated scheme involving the theft and resale of valuable coins. Universal Coin & Bullion (UniversalCoin.com), led by Michael Fuljenz, fell victim and took decisive action. He filed reports with law enforcement agencies, including the USPS Office of Inspector General, listed the coins as ‘stolen or missing,’ and reported them to the Numismatic Crime Information Center (NCIC) where Doug Davis ensured they went into the database.
“Had it not been for Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC), former Texas Police Chief Doug Davis of the NCIC and Oz Fong, an investigator with the United States Postal Service Office of Inspector General, we may have never discovered what was happening,” says Fuljenz.

John F. Kennedy Half Dollar Turns 60 - Memorializing a presidency cut short
The attempt on former U.S. President Donald Trump's life at a campaign event in Butler County, Pennsylvania, on July 13, 2024, could have been more significant than it was. Trump's ear was clipped, but the 45th president survived.The last time a sitting or former U.S. president survived an attempted assassination was in 1981, when a man obsessed with actor Jodie Foster shot the recently inaugurated President Ronald Reagan, who survived the attack. Sadly, there was no similar good fortune for President John F. Kennedy nearly 20 years earlier. One of the darkest days in American history occurred on Nov. 22, 1963, when a lone gunman drew his weapon and assassinated President Kennedy during a motorcade procession in Dallas, Texas
