Legit question - Do you think something like that would be sold on the black market to a collector? Or do you think it would just be melted down?
They have the suspects name and area where he lives. This one will probably be recovered. But to answer your question, I personally think the thieves often just keep the coin, and get-off on how slick they were.
I wonder if it is a real name/home of record. I know I wouldn't be that stupid....then again, I'm not dumb enough to steal a coin like that lol.
