    Shoot, I got bigger rocks than that and I'll sell 'em for a lot less money too.

    A fool and his money... Even if the rock was legit, who would pay that much for it?

    Playing Devil's advocate: The seller might very well have sent him a gold nugget, and the buyer could just as easily grabbed a rock from his driveway. One of them is apparently a thief, but we'll never know who.

    Could have been anyone in the chain of the shipment also, not necessarily one of them.

    The least he could've done was spray paint it gold.

    Obvious counterfeit.

    I think it's AT as well.

    However, if submitted and the experts agree that it is real, I think that crack is really cool! The die must have been in a very late state.

    Buyer sure got ripped.

    for $16K, I'd take a flight to Australia and camp out at a certain post office.

    reminds me of Charlie Brown at Halloween, "what did YOU get, Charlie Brown?" "I got a rock"
