<p>[QUOTE=&quot;silentnviolent, post: 1879126, member: 8797&quot;]I&#039;m thinking it was a prospector&#039;s stash. He must have found a good vein and brought the dust in every time he left the claim for supplies. Primarily paid out in double eagles, with the remainder in smaller coin, and some of the smaller coin is change from buying the supplies. He buried the rest in the same place every time before heading back out to the claim. One day he&#039;s attacked by claim jumpers/bandits/natives, and dies leaving the mint state stash until now.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>this accounts for the different date/mm combos (different trips to/from the claim), as well as the high concentration of high mint state coins with the same date /mm combo (found a good vein on that trip to the claim).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
