800+ Coin Clad Cache (same hole)

[cdhjr]

Found this extraordinarily large cache in a demolition lot. The cache consists of 887 coins. The coins are all clad and date from the late-sixties to the mid-seventies. One fifty-cent piece (1967) and only two nickels. The rest of the coins are quarters, dimes and pennies. Total face value is:

$7.61 Cents
$0.10 Nickels
$7.20 Dimes
$12.75 Quarters
$0.50 Kennedy Half

$27.66 Total Value

One of my most awsome finds. The coins appeared to have been rolled...some were still stacked in the dirt although the paper rolls were badly deteriorated. To bad the coins were'nt a few years older!

The first image is the hole from which I removed the coins (1.5' by 2'). The second is the cache of coins.

Peace,
Chuck

Nice find. Lots of people like to bury stuff even today.

Many use PCV pipe with glued on end caps. Such a container could keep even paper money indefinitely. In fact, paper money is what most are burying today. A lot of it is drug money or other ill-gotten gain. Law enforcement uses trained dogs to find it.

Great find

That is just awesome .. It took me 10 minutes to get 50 pennies in one hole. I bet it took you a 1/2 hr. You were probably laughing the whole time.

Once again that is AWESOME>>>>>>

Congrats, What a Find!! One time I found a cache of 30 coins and thought that was a lot. I can only imagine what finding over 800 would be like. Thanks for sharing.
