The Gold Dollars make up 95% of this hoard. Also found are about twenty $10 Liberty's with a date range of 1840-1862, and eight $20 Libertys dated between 1857 and 1862. But—likely the most amazing discovery in this hoard is about eighteen 1863-P $20 Gold Liberty coins... Nearly all of the 1863-P $20 Libertys graded in Mint State!" From the image there was also some silver, and only a few of the $10 and $20 are pictured. Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 24939 Posts	Posted 08/02/2023 5:34 pm Best finds from my yard were a corroded wheatie, a flattened silver-plated fork, a little green army man, and an old marble... Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
