There will be PLENTY of buyers. One of the coins is an 1866-S no motto $20 and it graded MS-63 which is a grade above the finest known example. I’m gonna guess that one will crack 1-1.25 mil as the last MS62 sale was around $375K.

There is an 1886-S that is I think tied with or surpassed its best, and there are only 40 or 50 known examples.

Since I am infatuated with old US real money, if I found this, I’d grade out the beast of each unique date to keep, and filter the remainder out slowly without a lot of news coverage.

Remember the idiots that had the 10 - 1933 $20’s, they flushed ~60-70 million dollars down the drain idiotifying theirs (sent ALL to treasury to ask if they were real).

Could newly discovered gold coins be the haul stolen by disgraced San Francisco Mint employee in 1901?

[MeshugeMikey]

Yes apparently I read it wrong

The company represents the couple, who want to remain anonymous for fear treasure hunters will descend on their propertyin Northern California's so-called Gold Country, named after the state's 1849 Gold Rush.

What happened - did the treasury keep them?

Yup.
