WHAT IS IN THE COLLECTION?
The treasure consists of four $5 gold pieces, fifty $10 gold pieces, and 1,373 $20 double eagles. Among the coins that will be on display Tuesday is the crown jewel of the collection — an 1866-S No Motto $20 gold piece valued at more than $1 million.
I found a Buffalo nickel once.

LOL! I got a silver quarter in change once and thought I had hit the lottery. And to think that within my lifetime you silver quarters, dimes, and half dollars were routine.

They are idiots for telling anyone.

More to the point, what percentage are State thugs confiscating in their perpetual mock “protection” racket.

I think this is the same find that the State of CA was trying to claim belonged to it.

Experts say paper money was illegal in California until the 1870s.... My how times have changed. Gold was money and fiat currency was outlawed, then.
Now look where we are, after the collusion of the bankers with the politicians in 1913.
