That's terrible! The worst part is that it may have been melted down! 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.

Also, this should be in the numismatic crime section.

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.

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).
