Vintage coin collection in red leather case
Description
Hey, I lost my vintage coin collection yesterday around 3pm. I was browsing around the Yuma Civic Center area on Main Street, near City Hall, and I must have set it down somewhere in that block. The binder is a red leather case about the size of a standard ledger, with a cracked spine and a loose elastic strap. Inside are a handful of coins in protective sleeves, including a few old silver coins that belonged to my grandfather. One distinctive feature: a small sticker on the inside cover reads 'Old Town Coin Club - 1990s' handwritten in blue ink. It means a lot to me; that collection has sentimental value and I'd be heartbroken if it's gone. If you spot it, send me a message and we can arrange a safe return. Thanks.

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.
