California Couple Discovers $10 million

A unnamed California couple was walking their dogs when they noticed 5 metal cans filled with rare coins. It’s called the Saddle Ridge Hoard. As they explained: “I saw an old can sticking out of the ground on a trail that we had walked almost every day for many, many years. I was looking down in the right spot and saw the side of the can. I bent over to scrape some moss off and noticed that it had both ends on it.” The 1,427 coins are in mint condition, most uncirculated, circa 1847 to 1894. Several of the rarest coins are worth $1 million, but the whole collection is impressive. The owners are selling off most of the collection.
