I agree. But with as many old gold coins as they found, they’d acquire a reputation pretty quickly as they started showing up in markets. It wouldn’t be too many years before the secret would be out.
Dummy that I am, I’m sure I would have done no better than they did. In my more calm and lucid moments, I like to think I would have gotten a lawyer on my side first before calling the cops.

I imagine these old coins are on the market a lot. Ebay has 78 “1894 gold eagle coins” up now. I would think one could travel around and sell them at various coin dealers. Save the rarer ones till the end. Or for the grandchildren.
At worst, melt them down (ahhhhh! No!!!!) and sell them for the gold value. And at least prevent the gov’t from getting of it.

Funny thing is, if I had $10 million I’d be buying a lot of gold coins. Why sell them all, or so many?
