Gold? Good God!
I've found a few silver dimes, but…
WOW.

In terms of single-coin Coinstar finds, this one takes the cake, I think... Congrats, Jaobler!

This is one of the best finds I've ever seen! Congratulations! You should post this in the CoinStar thread.

I agree, unbelievable, we need proof it wasn't a setup  You realize when you know how to think, it empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think.

Extremely rare find. I think we had another member find CoinStar gold, but it rarely happens. Big congrats. John1  |

Thanks for all the comments. Referring to the very informative website ngccoin.com I learned this Netherlands 10-Gulden gold piece is a 1-year type coin with a huge mintage of 4,110,000. Weight is 6.729 grams, fineness is 90%, and actual gold content is 0.1947 troy ounces for a current melt value of $378.20. It carries no premium value over gold content unless it is in choice mint state. I guess it's not inconceivable that such a common coin could be dropped into somebody's change jar and end up at a CoinStar. Lucky for me! If I ever felt embarrassed about scavenging for change at a CoinStar I think I'm over it now! |
