GREEN BAY - Coins are a regular donation to the Salvation Army's red kettle campaign.

So imagine the surprise when local volunteers found a gold one!

The Salvation Army of Brown County discovered the coin Thursday night.

It is a one ounce gold American Eagle coin estimated to be worth nearly $1,800.

Salvation Army officials say they found a similar coin last year, and believe it is from the same person.

The mystery donor remains anonymous.
