Yardman Held Over Penny Alteration Case in Wichita Falls
A 62-year-old yardman was jailed awaiting a secret service talk over 1944 pennies altered into apparently rare 1914 coins valued at $3.50 or more. Oscar Nelson allegedly started doctoring coins about a year ago and claimed only a few were disposed of. Paul Sullivan, a local coin shop operator, said he bought two marked 1914 coppers from Nelson and sent them to a California collector, who said they were altered by removing points from the first four. Nelson told a reporter he scraped off points on one and thought it a good idea. Elsewhere in Hamamatsu, Japan, thieves emptied a Shizuiha Bank vault of about 1 million yen, leaving 200,000 yen and a note claiming 1,000,000 yen was taken but returned part.
