Well, maybe they are honest and don’t want any stolen property?
Having said that, they should have figured out which two or three coins had the highest numismatic value and set them aside.
Then melted down the rest into 5 ounce gold bars and sold the bars one at a time in different places. The gold alone is around $2M I think, given there are over 1,400 coins.
Then take the two or three high value coins one at a time to different coin dealers.
I believe the weight of the gold was worth only 27,000 it was the rarity of
the coins that brought the REAL value!!
The face value is supposedly $27k, which would mean the stash weighs 1350 troy ounces. Which would make the bullion value today $1,807,056.
Unless I dropped a decimal or something.
