It may not
be “finders, keepers” after all for a Northern California couple who discovered a
$10 million gold coin stash on their property last last month
while walking their dog. As it turns out, the mint-condition coins may actually
be the property of the U.S. Mint.
A recently
surfaced news story details a
heist of gold coins from the San Francisco Mint in 1900, and
the stolen coins have many similarities to the ones discovered last month, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
