NumisEd Pillar of the Community United States 4506 Posts	Posted 08/02/2023 8:27 pm What a story and interesting coincidence! I just finished reading a work of fiction by Steve Berry, "The Lost Order", which is about Confederate Gold Treasure buried and protected by a clandestine organization called The Knights of the Golden Circle, to be used for a future South. As with all Steve Berry novels, this story is based on actual facts and events, but with fiction and fantasy woven in. Report this Post to the Staff

Hondo Boguss Bedrock of the Community United States 18355 Posts	Posted 08/02/2023 9:12 pm The fork is actually not too unattractive, considering that it was mashed and buried for 60 years. Hard to see that it's copper that was silver plated. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 10951 Posts	Posted 05/15/2024 09:29 am Interesting storytelling about the "Great Kentucky Hoard" find and the walk-through to the sale with Jeff Garrett. It presents the nexus between history and numismatics well. q3njgLjVizs 15 nZ4SWTatvqM 87s IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS My coin e-commerce website:https://fairfaxcoins.com Report this Post to the Staff

jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3703 Posts	Posted 05/15/2024 5:38 pm I know a man who works in the local coin shop that all these coins were brought into after being dug up. Man that would have been a crazy walk-in to get the adrenaline pumping!! Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety?
