<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Owle, post: 1879055, member: 22004&quot;]But would you be able to get coins like this from the banks of the day?</p><p><br /></p><p>One comment from a sharp collector:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;...however I agree it could very well have come from a robbery. The coins were predominantly in mint state condition and then quickly buried. Why do I say this, well you saw how they were packed in the cans, basically just dumped in and then sealed and buried, a collector wouldn&#039;t have done that under any circumstances. These coins were treated as common bullion and were put underground quickly, since they were buried shallow and unprotected while inside the cans. If they were hoarded and then buried or safe keeping they would most likely hid inside a home this looks like a robbery and quick burial to my eyes. &quot;<a href="http://forums.collectors.com/messageview.cfm?catid=26&amp;threadid=912283&amp;STARTPAGE=2" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://forums.collectors.com/messageview.cfm?catid=26&amp;threadid=912283&amp;STARTPAGE=2" rel="nofollow">http://forums.collectors.com/messageview.cfm?catid=26&amp;threadid=912283&amp;STARTPAGE=2</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
