• Lost coins?: Concerned pensioner in bid to locate her precious coppers

A PENSIONER has made an urgent appeal to a Marbella auction organiser to let her know the whereabouts of her valuable coins.

Elizabeth Davies, from Guadalmina, handed over precious coins worth thousands of euros to John White ahead of a December auction at the Hotel el Fuerte, Marbella.

However, citing bad coastal weather, White twice cancelled the auction and it has still not taken place.
The 65-year-old former hairdresser has not heard from White since mid December.

“The phone number he gave me just rings and rings and I would just like to know what exactly is going on,” explained Davies.

“I handed over coins very dear to me such as three silver coins, a South African shilling and a beautiful Roman broach with three ancient coins inside.”

She says that a friend informed her that White, who is from Mijas, is currently in hospital in the US.

A spokesman for the Hotel el Fuerte confirmed that no auction ever took place.

The Olive Press has been unable to get hold of Mr White, despite numerous calls.

If you have any more details on John White’s whereabouts pls email jon@theolivepress.es
