I heard a rumor that Adam Youngs offered to replace the coin free if they put his likeness on the face. :shifty:

Pretty ballsy if you ask me.......they use a ladder they found at the rail station to break in through a window to steal this thing...no guards, no alarm? Hhhmmmmmmmmmmmmm..........

Pro-tip of the Day:

If you have a coin that's worth several million dollars, don't leave it where it's accessible by climbing through a window, and breaking into a cabinet.

Rumor says the Queen owns one of the 6 copies of this coin. If I was the Monarch and they put my sexy mig on a $1 million record breaking .999999 purity coin I'd make sure to request a copy, you know, to make sure it is legit.

At 240 lbs this would have been hard to carry out. It was the only coin stolen - only the best.
