Wow! Nice,looks like about a quarter oz of gold in there. Did you find that when sorting a box of something? Is it the size of a quarter?

After I finished posting the first picture I went down and finished sorting the batch....I found 2 MORE!!! That makes a total of three. 2 1889's and 1 1901

These were obviously stolen out of a coin collection and turned into a bank....

Once again as someone asked, sorting WHAT? Had you bought some coins from someone? A box of pennies from the bank?

Whatever the case, congratulations!

That is pretty awesome.

You have to wonder who would turn those in. Someone with dementia?? Some little kid go ahold of part of someone's coin collection?

To decipher HighRoller's coin that he was sorting, high probablity that it is whatever coin is closest in diameter to the 10 rubble coin.

Given the weight, it would had to have been quarters.
