Now on ebay - somebody thought they had a winner!
This unprecedented hoard of 150 165-year-old 1856 Upright 5 Gold Dollars features two rare PCGS MS-65 specimens and 7 MS-64 specimens, 4 graded by PCGS and 3 by NGC. 37 pieces are CAC stickered. This hoard is estimated to represent approximately 50% of the surviving population of this original Red Book variety and the first year of the Type 3 gold dollar.
The reason this variety is so scarce is due to the fact that it was only minted during Q-4 of 1856 as this variety represents the US Mint's standardization of date logotype on the reverse of the U.S. gold dollar. In 1857, all date logotypes for all denominations of US coinage went upright in non-italic format.

I was 100% sure this was going to be a Julian listing. Bingo

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
How 'bout a link?

Maybe it’s just me, but wouldn’t it be easier to sell these one at a time?
That's the problem with dispersing a large hoard of a single date and type of coin. It floods the marketplace and it will take time to sell them all.

It's been up on eBay for at least half a year. It's a great hoard but a hard sell to have so many of the same and all at that cost.
Wow.... Definitely a difficult sell..... I would have parsed them out.... Of course, I am not a dealer, so would probably have been a mistake. Cheers, RickO
Looks like the same group that was offered as one lot in an auction within the last few years. Seems like it went unsold.
Think it might have been Goldberg Auctions. Not certain, but it was one of the national auctions.

That "hoard" will languish for some more time I bet. Just like those other details graded coins being offered up at problem free, mega-supreme prices.

I too would have thought that selling these individually would have sold very quickly.

I'm surprised Julian's listings of the 1 ounce silver ingots, he doesn't say in his opinion he thinks they're 2 ounces.
