700 Civil War-Era Gold Coins Found Buried on a Kentucky Farm - David Lockmiller - 07-17-2023 10:48 AM

Coins have been certified by the Numismatic Guaranty Company as genuine $1, $10 and $20 gold coins minted before and during the Civil War.
One type of coin in the haul drew particular attention from coin collectors: gold Liberty double eagles minted in 1863, which today are valued at anywhere from a few thousand dollars up to $381,875 at auction, depending on their condition and when they were minted.

Another reminder that there are always surprises. A lot of folks figure that because it's 2023 there's not much new, and most everything has been done. Not so.
