Too bad it was not found by a collector
It is too bad it was not found by a collector who would want to keep the coin and not rush to put it up for sale. Although, as I understand it, they will have to report the coin to the authorities before they can sell it, if it is not found to be a significant coin and purchased by the government. I could be wrong.
I wish I could find one. Paul |
