gitreal, The theft makes me want to cry, to think some no brain idiot would melt down a specimen that's irreplaceable.

Can you imagine melting this for spot price less fees and most likely the "fence" gave up 1/2 the spot value.

This piece was "collected" after blasting, by some miner, 1870's Virgina City hard rock mine. I've viewed it and the complete collection. I understand the collection was sold to one collector. Humm!
