Gold coins found in Kentucky

[BigTony]

Cool bunch of coins found but to me something doesn’t seem right or might be incomplete story.

Gold coin hoard totaling 800+ pieces found in Kentucky

A multimillion-dollar hoard of more than 800 U.S. Civil War-era coins was recently unearthed by a metal detectorist from a cornfield somewhere in the state of Kentucky.

Forget the Details of the location and finder... The whole back story seems sketchy... even back then... That was A Lot of gold... And nobody knew nothing about nuthin...

There is another post on here called Civil War gold found, there is a shorts youtube video of the guy digging it up. I have a feeling the goverment took control of his finds/gold.

I didn't realize the website I got that video from on the other thread was from a place called govmint, and not gov. mint. It tricked me, oops. I guess they are a reputable coin dealer, as in they sell legit coins, but also seem to have a reputation for using deceitful marketing.

Is govmint part of the government, for some reason I was thinking they were. If they were going to slab every 1 of them coins & sell them, to me it seems as the government seized his finds/gold coins from him & are trying to get every red cent they can from them coins. Then maybe the government might give the finder a few bucks for his discovery. Really this story to me seems like there is something not being told. I'm curious as to more of this story, but there is not much out there as in info. Thanks.

That's what I was thinking too at first, before I realized. Govmint has no goverment affiliation, unlike the real website gov. mint.

Hmmmm.
Possibly the dirty feds who stole it are still playing dirty selling it all. House investigation please.

We've all heard/read the stories over the years of the US and state governments seizing finds like this with only a pat on the back and a humiliating blurb in the news as compensation. By now, if people don't know how to keep mouth shut, they deserve to lose the discovery.

Yep I would have secretly sold about a 100 coins, then went & buried the rest for someone else to find 100 years from now after I was dead & gone.
