    Geez, that is a large, well known seller.

    Maybe he is waiting for the bricks.

    Heck of a fire sale.

    Reminds me of a time when a fellow came into the shop asking if I bought gold Krugerrands. “Of course”, I said. He proceeded with, “well I have a bit of a problem”. When I inquired as to what, he told me he had a house fire and the gold coins were on the television and melted. He got upset and stormed out when I jokingly said, “ oh sorry, I don’t buy used televisions” .

    I have seen some coins that have heat toned (fire or otherwise). Sometimes they are completely ruined but other times they can survive and acquire some nice color (one example being proof sets where the melting of the insert produced the color).

    They sort of remind me of these 2 I experimentally ATd about 20 years ago because of that slightly purpleish pink. Part of the process did involve a house fire, if you include a gas fireplace in your definition of house fire…
