The couple isn't publicly unidentified, but you can't sell something so rare as those coins without getting the right kind of help.
can you imagine stumbling across that on your own property?
 
I'd do a jig for about 4 hours straight lol, I find a lot of random stuff after bills games in my.neighborhood because people park cars in there yards and tailgate everywhere. I've found ipods, wads of money, unopened bottles of premium liquor, whole unopened cases of beer etc its pretty awesome haha

I believe that those coins were found to have been stolen back in the 1800s, and for some reason or another someone else actually had a legal claim to them, so the couple that found them was to end up with virtually nothing. I'm not sure how this all ironed out.
 
Wow that sucks. That's another good reason they should have kept their mouths shut and just sold them one by one at random auctions and to private collectors.

If they did get nothing out of it that's just not right. Even if they were stolen. Ancient crimes like that should be dismissed after 150 years haha let alone from then to now, if that couple didn't find them nobody would have and certainly not the "rightful" owners. They should have got at least half of em as a finders fee

that news article is current, and says
"In the time since the find was publicly announced in February, no credible claims to the coins have been received, according to Kagin's, including the U.S. Mint, which debunked theories that it was tied to a heist in San Francisco in 1901."....
 
For everyone who has ever been called mother, whether as a term of endearment or as a partial epithet, tomorrow is your day. Make it a happy one.
 
I concur, my mom is the only reason I'm alive and not just because she gave birth to me, she was what kept me around after watching my father die a drawn out debilitating death.
