<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 3623040, member: 77639&quot;]I&#039;m guessing the following scenario is how it was smuggled out of the mint:&nbsp; The operator who removed it from the press knew it was valuable and tossed it in the metal scrap bin as per SOP.&nbsp; Before the metal scrap bins are moved outside for pickup, they are inspected for coins, planchets, coin metal strips, etc..&nbsp; However, the inspector missed the partial coin impression on the end of&nbsp; broken finger.&nbsp; The operator or a confederate was able to retrieve the finger from the bin outside the mint or perhaps at the scrap dealer.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
