Description
I found a small vintage coin collection in a red display case this afternoon around 4pm, outside The Antique Gallery on Quintard Ave in the Gadsden-Anniston area. The case is about 6 inches long with a glass top and a plush red velvet lining; inside are copper and silver-toned coins with nice patina, plus a tiny brass tag tucked under the lid that reads 'J.R.' One of the coins has a faint heart-shaped notch on the edge—it's pretty distinctive. I’m hoping to locate the owner; if you recognize this setup or the tag, reach out and I’ll gladly return it.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
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.
