I’ve made a note to myself, that if I ever fine $10M worth of old gold coins buried in the ground, to keep my mouth shut about it.

No, no. All they have to do is prove that they aren’t stolen and they get to keep them. /s
To: GrandJediMasterYoda
Stolen property is stolen property. It doesn’t become someone else’e property simply because they discover it where the thief stashed it.

I said to my son when I first read this....the zer0 government’s gonna claim it somehow. better to melt it into ingots and lose the numismatic value than lose the whole thing...

They should had never said a word to anyone and done their own research and sold them very privately to collectors.
To: GrandJediMasterYoda
Apparently, they found five cans of gold coins. If they were smarter, they would have “found” one can of gold coins and waited to see what their local kleptocrats did about it.

They're obviously not preppers. That would have been one hell of a SHTF fund, had they kept their mouths shut.

The couple who found these coins should have done their research before going public —
or maybe they did.
To: GrandJediMasterYoda
The government should be able to prove that, but IMO that isn't likely truth. More than likely some wealthy person buried stuff because they did not trust banks in the past.
If a robber stole than money you know they would have disbanded it all for cash over time, not bury it after risking their like to take it.

WHAT a surprise!! Yeah.
Instead of confiscating half of it in taxes, they want to seize all of it, and still assess the taxes, and still impose jail time for not reporting it in the calendar year it was found and paying the taxes then.

The people who found this were idiots.
They deserve to lose it all.
What is the problem with selling a couple of coins at different places around the country a couple of times a year.
“Oh, I got these from my great grandfather. He gave me four of them.”
Idiots.

To: GrandJediMasterYoda
When you find gold, you need to melt it down. I don’t care how old the coins are. They may have enormous historical value (especially in europe or the middle east) but if they are distinguishable in any way, you’ll lose them.
This has happened before.
To: GrandJediMasterYoda
Idiots. LOL. I would have sold them a few at a time to private collectors and above all, I never would have said a word about where I got em.
Maybe they'll find another stash . . . Lessons Learned
