Message:: [QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 8546819, member: 73489"]There's lots of information on the 1908 No Motto Hoard....I've posted here and over on the NGC site as well. Keep in mind that Ron Gillio has really never given details of WHERE and HOW the coins were found. He may be sworn to secrecy....it may involve sensitive government/banking contacts in South/Central American countries...whatever.  But you and everyone else are probably aware that the "Wells Fargo" moniker has nothing to do with the finding of the hoard....it's where the hoard was kept while the transaction for buying the 19,990 coins was being undertaken. They were kept at a WF branch for safekeeping....the coins may have been with one or  multiple banks south of the boarder.....with a general or his family in one of those countries....etc.  We don't know. Bower's Double Eagle book has the most comprehensive story on the 1908 NM's and Roger Burdette's Saints book includes that plus a few other details.  I've also included some tidbits from various sites here and over at NGC.[/QUOTE]
