Mind asking how much u paid for the coin?

 

[silverwarebandit]



The coin is (I assume) a current reproduction.  But, still very cool.  Did it come with the box?  The box is very cool.  Too bad the coin wasn't in something sealed.  

Yeah it's a 2009 reproduction. Came with the box and a plastic coin case.

Kind of a meh past week:

Also thrifted my pops a 100% cashmere Jos A. Bank blazer in his (hard to find 52R) size. Nothing wild, but he really liked it.

And this thing

Feels damn heavy, cold, and soft. Going to a coin specialist tomorrow to have it verified. If real this is the most valuable thing I've ever thrifted.

Did it have a COA?

Basically looks like this one at APMEX. From the sounds of it, you're under the 10% rule, and probably under 1%.

All true thrift except the shoes, which are from eBay.

I know we ask this all the time, but who the heck donates a $2K solid gold coin without even checking the value?

Yeah, it is almost understandable that some rich guy might think that no one would want his used clothes, but donating a gold coin? I mean, it would be easy to walk into a coin shop or jeweler and walk out with cash shortly thereafter.

I don't even know. I mean ... The melt value is just over $1100.

No COA so I'm going to send it out to be graded and sealed.

Edit: yeah man, beat the 1% rule

Dang! Nice find.

I bought an 84 trek 760 years ago that had suntour superbe on it. Sold the groupset and rebuilt the bike for my own use. Pretty much paid for itself. It was sick.
