An unsuspecting couple, known only as John and Mary, recently stumbled upon what may be the most incredible buried treasure ever discovered in the United States. Valued at approximately $10 million, the 1,400 piece collection is comprised of mid to late 1800’s gold coins that are in near perfect condition. Further, the find includes the 1866-S No Motto Double Eagle which alone carries an approximate value of $1 million. As Mary says, “It was like finding a wonderful hot potato,” … No idea what that even means but, I guess that makes sense if it was a giant potato made of gold. Kagin’s Inc., a firm specializing in U.S. gold coins, will be representing the couple and handling the sale of the collection.
