    If you checkout the story , it was not luck, The people who had the coin were the decendants of one of the signers of the declaration of independence,, Im sure that this was just one of the Items that was left to the family from this era .

    NGC news letter had the story.

    Well I meant luck in the sense that they were those desendants......
    I'm not lucky enough to be one of those descendants...

    Yeah I know what you mean. Since 1981 I have dug 2,409 graves and have yet to find a buried "treasure". Not a single coin, not even the can!!! Pretty obvious now. They left them all to their descendants and didn't take any with them! :mad: :)
