@Elessar What's the return rate on those? Because I got some saved up?

The story is from Feb 2014, and the couple chose to remain anonymous.

Nearly all of the 1,427 coins, dating from 1847 to 1894, are in uncirculated, mint condition, said David Hall, co-founder of Professional Coin Grading Service of Santa Ana, which recently authenticated them.
