    A whole lot of 1916 Sovereigns. I'd love to go through those bags. A thorough analysis - possibly a new book. Who knows what treasures may be in them.

    The Mint could make a lot of extra income by letting collectors search bags of coins.... ;) Surprised they have not thought of this angle yet. :D Cheers, RickO

    I’m surprised there hasn’t been another GSA type auction to fill the government coffers...
