What he should have done was to take it to another country and quietly sell it there. I think when he found out it might be worth $250,000 he lost his mind.
He knows his father pilfered the coin. It is stolen property and as such as soon as it is discovered the title reverts back to the original owner.
The coin dealer better be glad he didn’t buy it for $250,000. If the government found out after the transfer, the coin dealer would have been out the $250,000 and the penny.
