MontCollector Pillar of the Community United States 2403 Posts	Posted 02/17/2016 02:06 am My wife and I went for a drive and stopped into a pawnshop/antique store/coffee shop in a very small town, less that a 100 people. while waiting for coffee I found this in their shop for $35.00. The only coin they had. While I collect ASEs and Morgan dollars I couldn't pass it up. Looked lonely in case by itself. Came with original box and COA as well. I know nothing about these nor have I ever heard of Tuvalu, but I figured at the price they had it at I couldn't go wrong as I have seen some colour coins sell for much more.

Late night TV ..... insomnia ....... a credit card ....... HSN Coin Vault ........ a year later, you need money to pay the heat bill, so you pawn the coin they convinced you was an "investment" at $129.00 for spot ($14.29). ........ thinking I'm pretty close to the story .......
