So it is still out there . . .

 

The gold will always be out there. I'd doubt the coin will ever be recovered unfortunately.

 

Yeah, probably cut-up and the chunks melted soon after the theft. No market to sell it intact.

Any market that would have existed was probably completely disinterested just from logistical issues

 

Stolen by an "Arab Clan." Is that a new PC term for "Refugee Gang" I wonder.

 

At least you didn't use "Extremist Refugee Gang".

 

That's redundant. Seriously though, "Arab Clan" is the funniest thing I've read all day.

 

They could have been contracted to steal this, and they didn't melt it, they just handed it over and took their cut.

 

I wonder if the coin was insured. If it was, do you think they'll mint another one?

 

I find it amazing that 4 guys aged between 18 and 20 were able to steal such a valuable item from a museum.

 

It Almost certainly was insured. As far as another one I don't even think they legally could back date one like that. They could maybe make a new one for this year but it won't have the same feel to it at this point since Perth has done some too and actually outdid them I believe

 

They really don't know what happened to the coin. How times have changed. The cops in the Texas town I grew up in would have had the robbers begging to tell in about 15 minutes.

 

They were almost certainly hired for that job. That coin was gone in a day or two. Either a buyer wanted the actual coin or it was melted to fund the enemies of the civilized world. From a theft standpoint that is one of the dumbest targets you could randomly pick given the size, weight, and being unique.
