Hide it again! The FBI will seize it and sell it. They will give the big guy his 10% and use the rest of the money for "off book" spending.

Why don’t I ever find things like this? The best thing I ever found was an 1891 seated liberty silver dime.

I cannot fathom why anyone would announce this to the world.

Just keep it and shut up.

And yes, have it appraised by a reputable appraiser and then sell them off a little at a time.

The IRS is already counting their cut.

It’s income based on the value the day you took ownership of the propert—which becomes the basis. Then you are taxed on the capital gain.

Yes, the IRS screws you for stuff buried in the ground for 160 years.

A few years ago a friend of the family found a cache of civil war gold coins in Kentucky also and got rich enough to retire from farming.

Had he kept farming he would have been just as poor as if he never found them.

No estimate in the article about how much the entire cache could be worth? And how long before descendants of wealthy folk in the area start claiming they should be the rightful heirs?

Just another reason why the FBI should be abolished!

I’m guessing he’s coming to the Gold Coast to buy a mansion.

Has Rush’s place sold yet?

I'm an amateur coin guy.

My dream is to find an MS roll of 1916 or 1917 SLQs, Type 1, but this will, most definitely, do!

Find of a lifetime!

I read through this quickly and may have missed it:
Any estimate on the value of the find?

I found an 1840 political token in my back yard. It has Andrew Jackson emerging from a treasure chest on one side and a donkey (jack-ass) on the other. It represents one of the first usages of a donkey to represent the Democrat Party.
