According to the article, the identity of the finder will not be revealed, also all the coins were sent to NGC to be cleaned and graded, then the coins went be sold by GovMint which is one the biggest and best rare coin dealers in the country, so I'm sure all the bases are covered. I would guess the finder either owns the land the coins were found on or he made a deal with the land owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be sending you my phone number for emergencies of that type to help you out. Please put it on your emergency list first and I promise to take good care of your find and keep it safe. Then we will get you to the proper hospital to take care of your problem. Just kidding you, but something like that could make ones heart just leap out of the chest for sure.
