Celebrity Mint, a prominent Houston-based producer of precious metal coins featuring renowned sports personalities, is offering a substantial $10,000 reward to anyone who can aid in the recovery of four prototype coins that were lost during transit. These prototypes, which are integral to the highly anticipated Mike Tyson Signature Series unveiled last month, consist of two 2 oz. and two 5 oz. silver coins, each meticulously crafted from .999 pure silver.
The unfortunate incident occurred in October while the coins were being shipped to New York Comic Con. Despite a thorough 90-day investigation conducted by the courier, the coins remain unlocated, prompting Celebrity Mint to reach out to the public for assistance.
These extraordinary prototype coins, known for their exquisite depiction of Mike Tyson in his prime and certified by the esteemed Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), hold immense sentimental and collectible value to Celebrity Mint. They were intended to be showcased at Comic Con, but sadly, they never reached their destination.
The missing coins feature a vibrant depiction of Mike Tyson, donning his iconic red gloves and black shorts, on one side. On the reverse side, there is an image of Tyson with his championship belts and a silhouette of King Charles III, symbolizing their minting in the Cook Islands. Each coin carries a unique certification number and spec number, which are as follows:
Certification number 48311438, spec number 931992
Certification number 48311439, spec number 931992
Certification number 48311440, spec number 931991
Certification number 48311441, spec number 931991
Celebrity Mint, renowned for debuting its legal tender trading coins featuring wrestling legend Ric Flair at the October New York Comic Con, emphasizes the significance of these prototype coins and the company’s unwavering commitment to recovering these unique pieces.
