Check out this article: https://www.thestar.com/news/world/...mountie.html It is highly likely that it was melted, because what else would they be able to do to it? Certainly not sell it.

Illegaltender Pillar of the Community United States 634 Posts	Posted 07/12/2017 1:04 pm I'm not gonna lie here, a cool big heist like this once in a while is kind of fun. Especially because it's not from a personal collection. I'm sure the other 4 are safer because of it, I just hope the money from this didn't end up with organized crime. Report this Post to the Staff
smauggie Valued Member United States 271 Posts	Posted 07/12/2017 1:18 pm This reminds me of the style of heists done on famous artworks where some wealthy miscreant collector wants to be the sole owner of a rare item. The item was stolen from behind bulletproof glass which had been broken in order to access the coin. This seems to indicate a very highly specialized skillset (at I am sure no small expense).
