found in cash register

was wondering if anyone knows anything about this bullion coin? I found it in the bottom of the cash register at work. no one claimed it in 3 months after asking around so the manager let me take it. they figured it was from someone recently fired (will make a nice collection piece besides the scrape on the back. looks like someone scraped it with their knife)

Nice find.

It's called a NORFED Dollar. Long, long story but quite interesting. Look it up. Good reading. Hope this helps.

 

As a silver coin, it has an intrinsic value to it. So that would be its minimum worth.

 

awesome find man.

 

that is interesting reading, does that mean they are illegal to have? dumb question im sure haha

 

There are a lot of different opinions on the matter, some official, some not, but there does seem to be a consensus that they are not illegal to possess.

 

And if they are illegal to sell, I haven't seen the law enforced. That coin (erm.. "round," rather) has been fetching $30-$80 on EBay.

Great find!

 

Thanks it seemed cool when I found it had all I could do not to pocket it lol

Aaron: Great find! Do not let that one go for melt. Some of these are quite collectible and highly sought after. TC

 

what a cool find!

 

Oh this one won't go for melt, only issue with it though is a spot on the back it looks like someone dug it with a pocket knife for testing or something

Interesting that it was found in a cash register. Someone must have thought it was a $20 legal tender coin which is why they got in trouble in the first place.

 

That's what the manager thought
