Husband and Wife Accidentally Found 1,400 Gold Coins in the Houseyard
A husband and wife couple from California, United States of America, accidentally found treasure in the yard of the house in the form of gold coins, when they were taking their dog for a walk. Unmitigated, the total Gold Coins they found were approximately 1,400 Coins, then they auctioned the gold for US $ 14,000, per piece.
The gold coins date from 1847 to 1894, for the total value of the Gold Coins they encountered was US$10,450,000, million.
The number of gold coins found reached 1,400 pieces, and some were auctioned at an auction in the Old San Francisco Mint, United States.
Quoted from the Daily News page, one of the gold coins has a double eagle symbol which usually reaches a price of 58 million but both are auctioned for up to US $ 14,000.
Co-founder of the Professional Coin Grading Service, David Hall gave an opinion on the discovery of this treasure.
"This is truly a buried treasure story," David told the Daily News.
He added that there was a possibility that the coin was stolen or someone had deliberately buried it.
"Probably stolen. It's also possible that someone buried him and then something happened to him."
Gold coin collector and investment Don Kagin told the Daily News that most of the remaining 1,400 gold coins have been sold on "Amazon" and "Kagins".
A husband and wife, who, according to Kagin, did not want to be named, found the gold coin buried under a tree in his backyard in Northern California, United States.
They found the gold coins in eight cans buried under an old tree planted around their house.
However, the 8 cans were buried with different depths, it shows that the old owner of the gold coins buried the cans not at the same time.
They plan to keep some of the gold coins as a collection and part of it to auction, then the proceeds from the auction are used to pay off debts and give them to charities.
According to Kagin, most of the gold coins were minted in the San Francisco Mint, but it's not clear who buried them and how they got their hands on the gold coins before they were found by a Californian couple.
Kagin said there are many theories about the discovery of these gold coins, one of which is that people attribute the coins to the famous robbers Black Bart and Jesse James in the 18th century, but it has not been proven which theory is correct.
And according to experts, what makes this find valuable is that almost all of the coins are in near-perfect condition.
So whoever buried it most likely did so when the coin was in circulation.
Kagin also added that the discovery of this gold coin is the greatest treasure discovery in the history of the United States.
Previously the discovery of gold had occurred in Tennessee, in 1985, gold which had a value of up to US $ 903,000 and was found by a construction worker named Jackson.
Then in 1974 more than US$400,000 dollars of silver coins were found in Nevada, in the home of a private worker owned by Reno who died in 1974 and sold for US$6,873,973.
