Celebrity Mint, a Houston-based producer of precious metal coins featuring notable sports personalities, is currently offering a generous reward of $10,000 to anyone who can aid in the recovery of four prototype coins that went missing during transit. These prototypes, integral to the Mike Tyson Signature Series, were set to be showcased at New York Comic Con but were lost under mysterious circumstances.
Crafted from .999 pure silver, these rare coins come in two different weights: two 2 oz. coins and two 5 oz. coins. They feature a vibrant depiction of Mike Tyson in his prime on one side, complete with his iconic red gloves and black shorts. On the reverse side, there is an image of Tyson with championship belts and a silhouette of King Charles III, representing their minting in the Cook Islands. Each coin carries a unique certification number and spec number.
Certification number 48311438, spec number 931992
Certification number 48311439, spec number 931992
Certification number 48311440, spec number 931991
Certification number 48311441, spec number 931991
The loss of these prototype coins occurred in October during their shipment to New York Comic Con. Despite a thorough 90-day investigation by the courier, the coins have yet to be located, leading Celebrity Mint to turn to the public for assistance.
Celebrity Mint considers these prototype coins to be irreplaceable and of significant importance. They were meant to be part of the highly anticipated Mike Tyson Signature Series collection and their absence has been deeply felt. The coins, which are certified by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), were intended to be the center of attention at New York Comic Con, but unfortunately, they never made it to their destination.
The company’s debut of its legal tender trading coins, featuring wrestling legend Ric Flair, was a huge success. However, the missing Tyson Signature Series prototypes have left a void that must be filled. Celebrity Mint is determined to recover these precious pieces and is urging individuals with any information regarding their whereabouts to come forward.
If you or someone you know possesses any information about the missing coins, please contact Celebrity Mint immediately at (713) 597-6367 or via email at ryan@celebritymint.com. Help them recover these irreplaceable treasures and claim the $10,000 reward. Your assistance could make a significant difference in the retrieval of these valuable coins and ensure the success of the Mike Tyson Signature Series collection.
