Vintage coin collection in display case
Description
I’m missing my vintage coin collection in a black leatherette display case with a red felt lining. It holds about 60 coins from the 1800s to mid-1900s, including a rare 1922 Peace silver dollar. The case is roughly 6 by 8 inches, with a glass top and a small brass tag inside the lid that reads 'KB Coins.' I last had it yesterday around 3pm near the Basque Market on Grove Street in downtown Boise; I think I might have left it on a bench outside while I grabbed a bite. This collection has been in the family for generations, so I’m really hoping to get it back; it means a lot to me.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
