    That should be easily identifiable even if cracked out of the slab.

    I was looking at this on NCIC this morning, hope they can recover it!

    That's a shame, and a wonderful coin.

    What is the protrusion at 6:00 on each side? Is that part of the design?

    I was wondering about that, too. I'd say it's almost certainly a jewelry mount removal.



    The grade is Genuine AU Details (98 - Damage), so...?

    Hmm, makes you wonder why anyone would steal this particular coin. It's too distinct to resell afterwards without a lot of risk involved. Melt value? Maybe, but it would be quite a shame.

    Ex-jewelry damage or not, it is still a very rare and valuable coin. Anytime one sees the word "Portugaloser" there's big bucks involved.



    The loss of such a coin would hurt very much.



    I hope its individuality helps it be recognized and recovered.
