    .....maybe if I put in my Blue 'Recycling Bin' Serial Number,
    I'll find where my Stella has been for the past 32 years!

    Fred I sincerely apologize, but I couldn't help it, however growing up in Simi, I admit I have perpetuated the tale by word of mouth that there is a quarter million dollar coin in the Simi Landfill as well as Joaquin's Treasure on the Pass

    Steve - well, with current grading standards,
    it's now a 65 or 66, and so $250K is reasonable.

    Only worth $65K when I threw it away.

    I thought you were gonna say that you found a $4 dollar gold Stella

    Steve

    Pretty sad that was the first thing I thought of too...one persons legacy is another persons tragedy. I wonder if it was ever "recovered" from the abyss of trash?
