CaptJeffWorthFL Valued Member United States 247 Posts	Posted 11/10/2022 07:48 am 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! Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 11/10/2022 09:01 am Remarkable in any day and age! My grandfather used to say $2.50 Indian gold coins would occasionally pop up in rolls of cents (mostly Indians then) during the teens and twenties. Report this Post to the Staff
