Ten years ago due to failing health, he moved into his son&#039;s home in Kisimmee FL. Lacking the means to continue collecting, and fearing theft of the coins from unknown visitors to his new home, he buried the coins on the property. The coins remained buried for 10 years until his death this year. A sealed envelope attached to his will contained a map to the &quot;buried treasure&quot; His son was able to located and dig up 3 suitcases, each containing approx 200 lbs of coins each. The suitcases contain every type of coinage imaginable from loose pennies to Mint Proof Sets, from Colonial Coins to Susan B. Anthony Dollars. The coins will be auctioned as is, as found, with no grading or authentication unless noted otherwise in auction descriptions.&quot;</span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
