<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1598966, member: 112&quot;]Yeah I did forget about the Wells Fargo hoard, got me on that one. But you should do a bit more checking regarding those. 19,000 huh ? </p><p><br /></p><p>David Hall<span style="color: #000000"><font face="Arial">: In contrast to the usual &quot;ratty&quot; look of the 1908 No Motto Saints, in the early 1990s, dealer Ron Gillio found a hoard of <u>9900</u> absolutely incredible 1908 No Mottos.</font></span></p><p><br /></p><p>Well, that&#039;s not your fault; the supposed numbers of the hoard are all over the place. Don&#039;t ya just love the internet ? You can find that quote on Coin facts.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s also interesting that just about everybody fails to report that the hoard was originally discovered in the 1970&#039;s. At the time all of the bags were opened, the coins taken out, sorted, counted, and then put back into bags and back into storage for almost 30 years. Until Gillio, (actually Spectrum), bought them in &#039;96. And of course that was the largest, and the only hoard of its kind ever found. Did have a lot of nice coins in it though.</p><p><br /></p><p>And those coins never saw Europe. The original owner bought them in 1917 and they were stored, in the US, for almost 50 years before they were rediscovered in the &#039;70s.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
