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

Apparently 1350 twenty dollar gold pieces, 50 tens, 5 fives. One of the twenties (1866-S No Motto) is a very scarce coin in way above average condition and one of the fives is either a Reid or a Betchler?

Most of the rest of the stuff that will be pricey is of the common coin but rare in this top condition ilk.

You can read pretty good commentary over at PCGS forum, there are two separate threads with some good links.

These finders are gonna get ripped apart by fed and state governments, lawyers and individual claimants who think they have some tie-in to former landowners. They will have less than zero before it's all over. Probably Mr. Kagan will wish that he never heard of this hoard too, the cat fight will be tremendous.
