<p>[QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 5463033, member: 73489"]Here's my problem with hoards that get the recognition:</p><ul> <li><b><span style="color: #0000ff">They're oversold, </span></b>as in a family's recent find of family-owned coins really doesn't have a sexy story. The New York Bank hoard -- it was found once the owner died and the estate needed to be settled -- is one such oversold hoard IMO: <a href="https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313&_nkw=new+york+bank+hoard&_sacat=11116" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313&_nkw=new+york+bank+hoard&_sacat=11116" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313&_nkw=new+york+bank+hoard&_sacat=11116</a></li> <li><b><span style="color: #0000ff">They're misnamed,</span></b> like the Wells Fargo Saints.
