That is pretty interesting. I would be concerned that it is stolen property though.

What about the auction leads you to believe it's been stolen?
I would be MORE concerned about it being a basement job.

I'm sure even scrap can not legaly be taken by employees. On the other hand I heard the "waffeled" coins were sold to a scrap metal yard and the owner saw more value as they were and sold them. The mint could not stop him as he purchased them and were his to do with as he would.

I agree with joe and feel that the Secret Service would look warily at anything removed from the Mint as possibly stolen and converted. If this strip can be traced to a legitimate sale to a scrap dealer then that is another matter.
