Outstanding!

The more you advertise about a find the more someone else will want to take it away from you.


This is supposed to be a hand grenade

Only way anyone will ever know I found a huge treasure is my mailing address changes to French Polynesia (Tahiti, Bora Bora, Moorea, or one of the 300 other smaller islands)....

Reading the full story at that link it looks like these are NOT stolen coins so the couple should be abl;e to sell out w/o a problem (other than the tax man)

The rare coin expert who is helping a California couple sell $10 million in gold pieces they dug up said Tuesday that there is no way the mother lode came from a 1900 heist at the San Francisco Mint

....which is what I would say too!!!!!! (were I him)

I seriously doubt the gov't can legitimately claim these coins were stolen from the mint. Far too many discrepancies.

 

[NEPADIGGER7]

I like on the news they said it was robbery money from the early 1900s. The government needs to leave them alone and.let them keep there treasure. The finders have more gold then fort Knox. Literally our country is broke. Last audit was in the 1950s. Hmmmm.....

 

[TheHarleyMan2]

just like I said last week, i am waiting to hear the news of the graberment come in and take them from the couple!

yep just like I said so! I should have bet a few thousands of dollars on that bet if someone took me up on it!

yes I'm sure they have someone investigating,
because if there is any way at all they can lay claim to more then just the taxes on it,
They will.

There are just so many threads running on this forum about this topic I don't know where what is posted anymore But Jeff had the possible mint heist listed on a -2/28 post in one of the threads also in another thread was discussed the whole mint robbery story along with info on the guy who went to jail over it As I mentioned before the one who is going to profit the most on the deal is the dealer, His only taxable exposure is his commission from the sale no wonder he has marketed it so much ---------------

Also note that one of the coins found in the hoard was an ultra-rare 1866 Liberty $20 gold piece missing the phrase “In God We Trust” — a coin which was never released to the public and which must have been produced and kept within the mint itself.
