Vintage coin collection binder, 1960s coins
Description
Hi, I’m Priya Kapoor; I lost my vintage coin collection binder yesterday around 4:15pm near the Bozeman Public Library on East Main Street. It’s a black faux-leather binder with a red spine and a slightly loose brass clasp, and inside there are about 60 coins, mostly 1950s-1960s US dimes and nickels. The front has a small pine-tree sticker, and the back pocket bears a 'Bozeman Numismatic Club' label; it also includes a folded checklist with my grandfather’s handwriting. This collection is sentimental—it's a gift from my grandfather and has been with me for years, so I’d be grateful to get it back; if you found it, reach out to [email protected].

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.
