Think this has a chance at MS66?

    That's been posted before...

    As I recall the story was the collector briefly stored it in the microwave & forgot to retrieve it prior to the microwave being used.

    Shame it wasn't stored in the toaster oven as it might have toned a bit more ;)

    As I recall it was hidden in the microwave so it must not have been seen under the rotating tray?

    I wonder if they removed the coin? Being plastic, acetone would remove the residues...not sure what the coin would look like though.... It may well be out there in a 64 slab right now... :D:D:D Cheers, RickO

    Probably heating up food. The slab was under the rotating tray

    THAT could very well be a certified Dinosaur Scab . From the right buyer it might be a perfect 70+ grade and be worth $2 Billion .

    look at the burn pattern side by side with the indian $10. you can see the high points are blacker and there is a definite outline of the relief in the plastic. i bet the coin can be fixed because it's gold.

    also, it's time we call BS on this microwave hiding place story. i agree with @landlord ... why would some do that? i think some one did it purposely.

    i also agree with @ricko the coin is probably ok and worth close to the same amount it was away without the holder and sticker.
