I havent been hunting much, but I was feeling a bit lucky yesterday so I went out and got a box of dimes. Got 4 rosies, which was better than my average for a box, but nothing spectacular. Went to dump at the penny arcade and pulled this beautiful little lady out of the reject tube. :D Definitely the most valuable single coin I've ever found hunting (dumping)

1947 20 Swiss Franc

Is that a gold Swiss Franc? OMG... Either way that is awesome! HH
 

Wow, gold :icon_thumright:

Can't get much better than that :icon_thumright:
 

You are one lucky guy. I don't know where to start, 90% GOLD, 6.4516g, 0.1867oz of Gold, mintage of 9,200,000 and as of todays price of gold , 1785.40 as I write this, the bullion value of your coin is $332.08.
That is simply an amazing find.
 

Is it the pic, or is the coin silver looking. If so, then it would be counterfeit or a huge error.

It's the lighting, the coin is gold, you just have to look harder.

Nice find on the gold coin!!! The coin is roughly a bit larger than a US dime, keep in mind, but still a wonderful reject find, I would LOVE to find gold in the reject tray... now this makes you wonder what else the person dumped :icon_scratch:

Keep on hunting!

Very jealous! I am trying to buy one just like this one. I think it's the most beautiful gold coins from Europe.
 

WOW! I could only dream about finding something like that!
 

That is an awesome find, congrats. Free gold > Face silver :notworthy:

I like the Swiss coin designs too...this one has a Morgan-ish look to it. VERY well done!

Yes you are. An amazing find, but what happens on the CRH board stays on the CRH board.

Not only that, it's more like some dooozche throwing an envelope on the street with 5 folding Franklins inside.

Nothing that "happens" here stays here, if secrecy is what you are concerned about. A simple google search is all someone needs to do to figure out CRHing. I was researching silver coin values when I found out.
 

I would be sorely tempted to have that professionally framed so I could mount it between the bear and the Dalls ram.
