I forget which city it is, but every year Goodwill gets many modern gold coins tossed into their buckets.

It's been going on for over a decade at least.

I've linked several items from Goodwill's site over to the forums here. You must of missed the gold painted coaster that went for $1K plus.

I believe its right here in Chicago.

Yeah coins often sell at Goodwill for silly prices, higher than normal. I wonder if the folks buying the stuff turn around and take a tax write off as a 'donation' ignoring the fact they bought something.

must be one heavy coin or padded envelope. Shipping says minimum weight 1 lb

That coin looks like it needed to be donated or at least melted into something more aesthetically pleasing.

I live in Ft. Collins CO and every year someone drops a couple of Kruggerands in a different Salvation Army bucket. Which I happen to think is pretty cool. If you are the person who does this, I want you to know you have my respect and admiration. Not only because you give so generously but because you choose to remain unknown!!! Thanks!!!

Take a look at this one from their site--I have no idea whats going on here

2 Uncirculated One Dollar Coins (3233053)

2 Washington Dollars, and the bid is up to $130 already

It could be that people who arent aware of the new dollars think they were issued during Washingtons presidency, since the only dates on the coin are of his presidency--are people that out of it?
