DMN Valued Member United States 275 Posts	Posted 06/12/2023 11:43 pm I couldn't believe it when I saw the new and the newspaper Headlines! It has to be some very valuable pennies in that find!! That probably would be at least 900,000 posts on here about errors and varieties just from those pennies. Lol! I would have a field day!! Report this Post to the Staff
datadragon Pillar of the Community United States 1648 Posts	Posted 06/16/2023 08:48 am CoinWorld had an update: https://www.coinworld.com/news/us-c...n-california ...prompting more than 100 offers to buy the hoard, including from interested purchasers overseas. The agent, John Reyes, told Coin World June 12 he was meeting with one of the interested buyers that day to seal a deal. Reyes said the prospective buyer, from northern California, had submitted an aggressive bid to remove the sealed cloth bags, boxes of rolled coins and crates of loose coins comprising the hoard from the home. Reyes said the exact acquisition cost for the cents is not being disclosed, but is many multiples of the face value. (Face is about $10,000) Edited by datadragon 06/16/2023 11:40 am Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25398 Posts	Posted 06/16/2023 1:42 pm WOW! My only question is WHY? Granted, uncirculated rolls may be worth a buck or two, but IIRC this guy started buying these cents in the early '80s. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Edited by HondoB 06/16/2023 1:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff
General Sherman Valued Member United States 125 Posts	Posted 06/16/2023 1:45 pm I think all US coin hoardes are fascinating. Reminds me of LaVere Redfield, Howard Hughes and the witch of Wall Street - although this story is only worht a few thousand dollars or so. I'm doing my best to trump those Hall of Fame Hoarders though :). Report this Post to the Staff

A roll of pretty much any copper date is worth well more than a dollar or two... For example, I just sold an OBW of 1968-P LMCs on ebay for $12. CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets! Report this Post to the Staff
