    I believe that most people are honest.
    Unfortunately the few that aren't make everybody else seem suspect.

    Great story!!! Well, I sure hope that the coins got sent to the actual owners and they then cancelled the insurance claim.

    I wish they at least included a picture. I can't help but wonder how they ended up there.

    Neat. Wish it had said what the coins were in the article. I didn't watch the YouTube vid since I'm at work.

    It seems that the video only shows prop coins.

    $40k at current melt is about 38 pounds worth. If they were all Morgans, it would be about 778 coins. Seems like too many for three sacks in one box. Maybe the $40k is just based on the insurance claim.

    Hm. The story is too sketchy on details to be of any lasting interest to me.

    PS- the plastic prop coins in that screenshot are ridiculous. Laughable.
