A search warrant was served at Mooney’s home in the 3100 block of North Highway 99 near Breastworks Road, about one-half mile north of the Oak Grove Park. Deputies said he was inside during the search by the Property Crimes Unit, SWAT team and the Pensacola Office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

ECSO said five stolen firearms were recovered, along with other coins and evidence related to the investigation.

    Those coins are actually royal mint proof coins in the red case I have a set or 2 price ranging from $90 and up, depending on the condition in the year.. but I dislike a thief and I hope whoever he stole these from get them back

    Adam.. those red domino things are actually coin sets.

    Adam, they are coin-proof sets. Normally they are untouched by human hands and sealed into a case, normally by year.

    Adam, “ECSO said … recovered, …coins…”, in the article. Take a close look at the picture and you’ll see that those are the collectable coins.
