I would have put a small mark on it somwhere. Set it on an old book in open air to acquire a little tone, place it in a 2x2 and "age" the holder appropriately (maybe wet the cardboard and let dry, use an old fashioned script in fountain pen, buy an antique stapler and rust the staples). Walk into a coin shop in "little old lady without a clue about coins" mode.
Hey, anyone who says they've never thought of how they'd rob a bank is lying...

What would you do with the $80 you would get paid for the coin?

If I were the thief, I would sincerely ask God to forgive me, and apologize to the owner of the coin. Is there no integrity left in this world? Good Grief! Think about where you'll be 100 years from now. You DO have the ability to determine that, by the decisions you make now.isgust

I wouldn't have stolen it, but if I had lifted it I would probably be guilt ridden and would find a way to return it. If I was truly despicable, I would find a way to fence it out for a lot of money.
