Agree. If I found something like that, there is no way I would share the info with ANYONE except my wife. In fact if I were to find rare gold coins, I’d go through the effort to melt them down into bars. I’d probably even through in some other metal to insure it doesn’t have any “identifiable” signature.
One thing I learned in commercial real estate back in the early 80’s. The more people have to gain, the more fervor they will use to take you down. Heck, even the novel, “The Testament” addresses this issue.
Have you seen the movie “No Country for Old Men”?
Guy finds a bag full of money. Tells his wife—only. And that’s how it _starts!_
Why melt the rare gold coins down?
You lose most of the value right off and you’d still have to go through a second person to convert it into cash.
What am I missing?
