Friend showed me this rock (?) he found in an estate sale for $5. What is it?

It just looked cool and kind of shines at spots like silver maybe. Very heavy for its size, he says.

After he got home, he found an old sticker (price tag??) on the bottom ‘4500’. So that got him excited. But I know nothing about rocks. He only has a mini digital scale and this was too heavy for it. I can try to get him to weigh it again tomorrow. One side (the base, where the sticker is) is almost fully flat.

(This was purchased in New York City, but probably doesn’t make a difference - it was in an estate sale, not found in the wild).

These are the best images I could get from him, some with flash some without.

Any ideas?

[NEGATIVE] for u/pigeonwarrior65 (buyer)

Buyer left comment on my post saying they cannot send a chat, and for me to please initiate chat. I did, and they asked how much one of my coins be, with shipping, to RI (prices were clearly listed, but fine).

After replying to them, they said “I’ll be right back, gotta check something”, and a little later just followed up with a VERY NSFW photo involving a human and an animal. Screenshot below:

GOLD

From David Ackers: "The 1846 is moderately rare in all grades and generally available only in VF to AU condition. Strictly uncirculated examples are rare, just as rare as those of 1844 and 1845. Both Small Date and Large Date varieties exist, the Small Date being the rarer of the two." PCGS calls this coin an R8.5 on the rarity scale, and estimates 50 total survivors TOTAL IN ALL GRADES, and 4 in MS60 or better.

From Gordon Wrubel: "The Small Date has small numerals that are evenly spaced. The Small Date is easily distinguished by two snowman-like BALLS that extend up from the RIGHT STAND of the 4. Perhaps this defect accounts for the rarity of the Small Date. It is about 9 times rarer than the Large Date according to the PCGS population report. As of this writing, September 2013, only a couple of low Mint State examples have been graded."

  • 1893 Liberty $10 PCGS MS64 OGH - $2,995 Super Gem-looking. in PCGS Old Green Holder. This is a strong candidate for CAC; Especially since the next grade up the price jumps 3x. [REVERSE]

Ron Guth: "The 1893 $10 has the dubious distinction of having the largest PCGS-certified population of any date in the entire 10 Liberty series (although the 1894 $10 is almost as plentiful). This was one of the dates exported in large quantities to European central banks by the United States government decades ago. Dealers began re-importing them back into America beginning in the late 1970's and 1980s, and the supply has been seemingly inexhaustible.

One might expect a large number of Gems from such a large population, but such is not the case. Rather, the overall quality of this date is generally poor, with the vast majority of survivors appearing in MS61 and MS62, suggesting excessive handling and movement of the bags in which the coins were stored. Thus, out of a population of over 17,000 PCGS-certified Mint State examples, only four have earned the MS65 grade" (now 11, but still..)

  • 8x US Mint Modern $5 Gold Commemorative Coins - $1,050 ea. Variety of designs. 90% gold, and .2419oz AGW each (same as a pre-33 $5 coin). All are BU in their original mint capsules. feel free to ask for more pics. Random pick, however if you want to purchase a specific one, please let me know and I'll verify if this one is still available.
  • 1877 Belgium Leopold II 20 Francs (finer beard) - $895 [REVERSE] I know there are several varieties of this coins; first, Position A and B by edge lettering. Then, type 1 / 2/ 3/ 4 depending on different design elements. I'm definitely not an expert on Belgian coins, but if you figure out the type for yourself and want a pic of the orientation of the edge lettering for the position type, feel free to ask. Condition - Please inspect pics - actual coin imaged.
  • 1882 Italy Umberto I 20 Lire - $895 [REVERSE] R from the Rome, Italy mint. This is the most common date for this type, but other than maybe one or two scarcer dates, prices are similar across the different dates.
  • PAMP Suisse 'Fortuna' 10 gram gold bar - $1,405 [REVERSE] Please note: assay card is open, bar is held in it with staples. Melt is ~$1,397
