Might have found a Rare Gold Coin? :0)

[Matt1344]

So I pull this little puppy out of the ground today detecting at a local park. Sparkly GOLD. It feels almost like foil and after inspecting it for a few seconds I see that it has writing on it but I can’t quite make it out. I can’t get myself to throw it back since it is so shiny and has some sort of writing on it. I put it with my other findings to take home. When I get home I gently rinse it off. Got it pretty clean but still couldn’t read the writing. I carry it upstairs and inspect it further under a light with a magnifying glass.

Across the center in its largest font it says, “KOINPACK”…interesting…

In smaller letters across the top edge it says, “SHUNN LATEX PRODUCTS, CO”…oh no.

In small letters across the bottom edge it says, “PROPHYLACTIC”…wash hands, wash hands, wash hands!

Metal Detecting FAIL of the day.

Fantastic recovery!!! That's one coin you sure don't want to find with a hole in it.
Thanks for the laugh.
-MM-
P.S. Don't "rubber" too much or you'll ruin the value.

One of the ways they used to see if it was a gold coin was to bite it aren't you glad you didn't check it that way.

Just think of the path that had to take to end up in your hands

Not trying to think about it because you hate to think about it or because you're trying to forget you did? LOL

Anything shiny and yellow gets the heart pumping, and the adrenaline rush is what it's all about.

Looks like an exciting find. I bet you were pretty deflated later after that big build up. Keep the finds coming!

Keep the finds...a....pun intended?
