<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 750054, member: 4552&quot;]For some reason not all coins dissintigrate in the ground. During a reconstruction of a major street in downtown Chicago the ground was dug out for a great depth for new pilons. That ground had not been disturbed since the 1920&#039;s. In the ground construction workers found numerous old bottles, cans and many coins. One worker had a really large bag of those coins and some were Gold. Even old wood was being trucked away for some unknown distination. </p><p>As to just leaving it in a will. A neighbor and friend HAD a massive collection of guns, ammo, reloading equipment, etc. Possibly worth a real lot of money. He passed away and his family did not want any of that STUFF. So they called in a gun shop and were offered $1,000 for everything and they took it. Try picturing several German Lugers with all matching part numbers like new and many, many others gone for that price.</p><p>Imagine how many other situations like this REALLY happen with coins. </p><p>Sort of makes one think of trying to take it all with you. </p><p>Of course the ancient Egyptians tried that and it didn&#039;t work.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
