I must have missed this story.
Strange, I thought the amount of gold found was higher and well known but it says:
"How much of the Central America's gold was recovered is unclear, though Thompson sold bars and coins to a California mint for $52 million."
Is that a $50 gold piece he's holding in the photo?

Sure appears to be a $50 gold slug.

That would make them worth at least 1760 x 2.5 or $4400 each at a minimum bullion based amount.

when people do something like this after all they've accumulated, certainly escapes the ability of my mind to figure it out
of course other than he chose to
