The State is probably hoping it can't find a legit heir even though they located a first cousin. That would be quite a windfall. Hopefully the coins were stored in a preserving manor but it does not sound like it if they took the gold out in a wheelbarrow.

Hey, that's my uncle Walter that my father was always telling me about. Now how do I get in touch with the authorities? :-)

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!
Wouldn't it be nice to get that in a will! Wonder how long he had it for, and if he had it a long time, why he didn't sell when gold was up @ 1900$
Thanks for sharing!

If you buy the house, you might find even more gold as he didn't like the government. Most likely he hid a bunch too.  |

As distrusting as he sounds, I'm surprised he had $200 in a bank account!  |

Maybe I am wrong that that would be a lot of cash on hand. Most shops don't like to buy to much either when there is a spike because it might go down again soon. |

....and...if you sold that much precious metal at one time, the buyer would want a discount for buying that much. Better off to sell a few pieces at a time.

Im pretty sure he was buying gold not to try and make money but because he thought the dollar was doomed. He wasnt going to sell the gold for any price since he thought it had real value. My guess is he was expecting the economy to collapse in the near future

I'm guessing the inheritor will get the house, too, and if you don't think he's going to take the place down to bare studs, you're probably wrong. |

It would be fun to buy the house and try to search around for some bullion. (assuming you would find some...)
