Houston-based producer, Celebrity Mint, known for creating precious metal coins featuring renowned sports personalities, is offering a substantial $10,000 reward to anyone who can assist in locating four prototype coins that were lost during transit. These prototypes were crucial components of the recently unveiled Mike Tyson Signature Series, and include two 2 oz. and two 5 oz. silver coins, all crafted from .999 pure silver.
The unfortunate loss occurred in October when the coins were being transported to New York Comic Con. Despite a rigorous 90-day investigation by the courier, the coins remain missing, compelling Celebrity Mint to call upon the public for help in their recovery.
These distinctive prototype coins, featuring a vivid depiction of Tyson during his prime and certified by the prestigious Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), hold immense value for Celebrity Mint. They were meant to showcase the upcoming Tyson collection at Comic Con but tragically failed to reach their intended destination.
The missing coins are easily identifiable by their striking design of Tyson in action, adorned with red gloves and black shorts on one side. The reverse side showcases Tyson with his championship belts and a silhouette of King Charles III, symbolizing their minting in the Cook Islands. Each coin possesses a unique certification number and spec number, described as follows:
– Certification number 48311438, spec number 931992
