Yes...cool story...esp the one off coin the guy must have made for himself at the mint. It would be like creating a one-of-a-kind T206... With the intention of cashing in at a much later date! It's not looking like this couple is going to get to keep any of it though... Maybe a small finders fee.

Very cool story.
Pete - Why can't the couple keep it?

Because these coins were possibly stolen from the US mint in San Francisco, so they still belong to the Government.

Gov will make plenty more than face value on taxes after sale

If I made a find like that, I wouldn't tell anyone and just sell a few at a time, making sure I stayed under the radar. Why did these people go public with it?

His theory is way off. He had his 15 minutes of fame now he should go away again. The dates of the coins are too far apart to have been left at the mint that long. Plus not all the coins were pristine, some showed a lot of wear. This was a stash from some one back in the day. No telling why he didn't come back to recover it.
