Perusing through the latest CNG auction and apparently someone decided to test their shredders strength with an Aureus! Never seen something like this before and I must say I wish the story behind this came with the sale! Haha. Please post any uniquely damaged coins you may own!
I didn't save a photo but I did once learn the hard way that medieval Slavonian silver denars are no match for an office paper shredder!
I still don’t get it. How exactly does a coin get shredded, especially a 4-figure one? I love the description of provenance “shredded thereafter”
And mine can barely deal with paperclips. CNG missed the mark not disclosing the make/model of the shredder!
Wow... I believe the current owner of CNG occasionally posts here. Anyone remember his user name to see if we could get more to the story??
Should have put this in my OP but I kinda wanna bid on this and display the fragments like the Shards of Narsil.... And maybe if the winner of this coin puts it back together they will get to be the next King of Rome.
