<p>[QUOTE="coin_nut, post: 4290382, member: 80148"]I did fine a "hoard'" once, pretty sure I described it on here before. Before moving out of country, I got rid of almost everything I owned, including my coins. The bag of tokens I dug from the ground in an old basement hole in Maryland back in about 1962 was given to a person I knew who worked at a big coin shop in Seattle. Then a year or two ago, I spotted part of that lot on ebay, including the hand written note I had included in the bag, signed with my name. It was described on the ebay ad as a "hoard", though I had always thought of it as merely a treasure find. It appeared the house above the hole had burned down long ago, from all the ashes in the soil there. Anyhow, my snipe/bid failed and the seller refused to even swap email with a foreign devil like me, and the "JKS Hoard" disappeared back into the darkness. Moral of this story: Never get rid of interesting coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
