1880 Gold $5 Dollar Found In A Nickel Roll

A long time friend works at advanced auto and has since 1998 and has found all kinds of cool coins that come through that he buys from the register.

A few weeks ago he pops open a roll of nickels and calls me to ask if this is a game token or a real coin. I tested and weighed it and it is real. I gave him the bad news that it isn't the retirement find as they are a common coin in a sense but still worth about $450 in gold, I offered him 800.00 and he said he is gonna hold onto it and won't sell it. But what a find!
