IS: A harsh surprise awaits the person who stole Jesse Puljujärvi’s World Championship medal.
Jesse Puljujärvi will face a harsh disappointment if the intention was to make money from the missing World Championship gold medal. According to an expert, the stolen medal has virtually no economic value.
According to the sports museum’s chief curator Kalle Rantala, the gold content of the medal is very small, and it has practically no resale or scrap value.
– The amount of gold is a negligible part of the medal. Usually, only the surface is gold-plated, Rantala says to Ilta-Sanomat.
According to Rantala, melting the medal would also not be financially sensible.
According to the rules of the International Ice Hockey Federation, a World Championship medal must weigh at least 250 grams. However, most of the medal is silver, not gold.
Based on expert assessment, the thief’s loot cannot practically be converted into cash even by selling it as metal. Selling it at auction would also be extremely risky, as the medal’s origin would be easily traceable.
– A stolen medal has no value [at auction] in itself, because its value cannot be realized in any way other than to another criminal, Rantala states.
The true value of the medal lies in something other than its materials.
– Objects always carry a value that cannot be measured in money, Rantala says.
According to Iltalehti, Puljujärvi has promised a reward for the return of the medal. Puljujärvi stated that the returner could receive a thank-you gift such as ice cream or coffee and buns.
