<p>[QUOTE=&quot;phankins11, post: 2030696, member: 70703&quot;]I decided to drive up to my families lake house this morning to check on it and make sure nothing was amiss. On my 2 hour drive up here, I decided to take in some Coin Show episodes, specifically episode 87, where [USER=16994]@LostDutchman[/USER] discusses the Economite Hoard which was discovered in late 1878. According to PCGS&#039;s little write up &quot;...in or around 1836, the &quot;Rappites&quot; as they were called, sealed approximately $75,000 in face value of U.S. silver coins in a vault and covered it in brick and mortar. For the next 42 years or so, the coins remained sealed in the dark, damp vault. Then in late 1878, the coins were found, blackened and tarnished from their long storage.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>First off, How does a group of people seal up $75K and forget about it?! Do we know if the discovery was made by someone linked to the Rappites? I would just think somewhere in 40 years someone who knew about it told their kids or grand kids or what have you...how does that get forgotten?</p><p><br /></p><p>Going to be doing some more research on this...I gotta know[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
