Couple Discovers $10M In Gold Coins In Rusty Can Read
TND Article Spotlight:
An anonymous California couple in Gold Country found $10 million worth of gold coins in rusty cans buried in the the hollow of an old tree. The find, nicknamed the Saddle Ridge Hoard, could be the largest treasure find in U.S. history.
The 1,427 coins found date from 1847 to 1894 and are said to be in mint condition, having been uncirculated. They’ve been professionally graded and authenticated with a face value of about $27,000 a piece, but rare coin experts believe that each could fetch nearly $1 million.
“I don’t like to say once-in-a-lifetime for anything, but you don’t get an opportunity to handle this kind of material, a treasure like this, ever,” said veteran numismatist Don Kagin to the AP. “It’s like they found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.”
