BELFOR Environmental Finds Rare Coin

BELFOR Environmental in Oregon was contracted to perform demolition after a house fire completely destroyed the structure. Lost in the fire was one item that the homeowner missed the most -- a 1926 Saint Gaudens gold coin. He had spent a great deal of time sifting through the rubble with no luck. By the third day on site, BELFOR and the homeowner had loaded out most of the debris and lost hope of recovering the coin.

In the last hours of the day, BELFOR Environmental took one more pass in the most heavily burned area and, with incredible luck, found the coin in remarkable condition. The homeowner rushed over to the site in tears and disbelief. It was a silver (gold) lining to a misfortunate event.
