Don't get Caught with this Coin

What if you, or someone here, finds it while beach detecting ? Is it "finders keepers" ? :roll::p

Entirely possible the thief could drop it during his getaway afterall. I know a guy who found a stolen ring. When he tracked the class ring via initial, he was suspect in a home robbery, since the ring was amongst items stolen. He had a fast song & dance to do for the police, trying to say "I found it" (the typical thief's reply when caught with stolen property, eh ? ). The guy was very careful to ever repatriate things (class rings anyhow) thereafter, after that experience, doh!
 
They melted it the moment they were clear.

You can't resell a coin as large and well known as that. The melt value would be enough for the thieves. Melt it up in to smaller, more manageable ingots for transportation elsewhere, and then remelt into smaller ingots for redistribution.
