A piece like that should at least be immortalized in your butler's penny loafers.

So this asshat is keeping his collection of priceless coins in a Gone with the Wind lunchbox?

Yep, very dumb! Value going down with the number of scratches from all those coins being banged together! He's using gloves, but what good is that if the coins are not individually packaged/protected??

Probably so. From the article:
quote:
The coin was consigned for auction by Wentworth “Wenty” Beaumont, whose father found it recently in a candy tin containing hundreds of old coins in his study at his family's estate in England.
Beaumont is a descendant of William Wentworth, an early settler of New England.
The Wentworths became one of the most prominent families in New Hampshire.
Weird how "Wenty" has the last name of Beaumont but the first name of Wentworth. Who in the hell names their kid Wentworth?
I read it as being a chick with a hyphenated last name at first, but now it sounds like the Beaumont family wanted to memorialize their child's lineage as part of the historical Wentworth clan.
