As you might know, I live in Oregon, more specifically in the Portland metro area. Recently I got permission to hunt a field in Oregon City dating back to the Oregon Territory. I was excited to think about what was under the ground! I drove over to Oregon City and started detecting. About two hours later, I found an old looking jar. I couldn’t see anything inside, but it made sounds when I shook it as if something was inside. Curious about it, I took the jar home. Otherwise, I found a few Lincoln Wheat Cents and even a Mercury Dime, so it was a pretty good hunt. Later, I went home and tried to open the jar from earlier. It wouldn’t open, so I took a hammer and broke it. To my surprise, weird gold coins started pouring out of the jar. I don’t have pictures but they look like this: I counted them up and there were 476 of them, plus 58 $10 pieces. I looked in the Red Book and apparently these are worth thousands of dollars each. What should I do with these? Send them to PCGS and disperse them into the market slowly? Anyway, happy Easter, everyone!
I think you should send me all your coins along with the funds necessary to have them graded through PCGS. You can even request that the labels bear the monniker, "Omegaraptor Dream Find". That is if they get into holders, of course. Personally, I'd be worried about them being returned as "ineligible items".
I'm sure they're counterfeits. So best thing is to melt them into a bar and sell the bar at a pawn shop. Cal
