Default Calif. couple strike $10 million gold-coin bonanza

1,350 twenty dollar gold pieces, 50 ten dollar gold pieces and 5 five dollar gold pieces. Original face value of $27,525 in the American money of 1895. About 1,321 ounces of pure gold.

I keep wavering back and forth between 1,350 twenties and 1,400 twenties because I've hear and read both numbers. But you're still talking $1.8 million dollars MOL at present melt value.
