Yes for that price they can hop a plane and hand deliver

Seems like the 14 coins are worth about $200,000-225,000 total if they are all on the high end so the can is the other $2.5 mil? Seems a bit overpriced imo....

I wonder what happened with the folks that found the stash?

I can only imagine the lawyers, government, relatives...

Anybody know the back story?

only that the finders are the ones officially putting them up for sale

The couple managed to keep their identity secret to avoid armies of treasure hunters or scam artists, federal coin officials say nobody else made a legitimate claim, and now it's time to cash in.

Yep to a point.

a I said there are most definitely allot of hands out , considering they contacted lawyers.

of course by doing so, The coins Value has risen beyond their worth,
but still allot of people who weren't there that day are getting big cuts of the cash.
so saying they avoided treasure hunters or scam artists isn't exactly true.

2.75. Hmm let me think about it.... No. I guess silver is still just prettier today even after a couple bucks an ounce floated away. No offence.
