What stories can you tell us about hoarders of specific coins or series of coins?

For example, 1909 S VDB cents, or Barber dimes, or 1950-1970 Cameos [one of my favorites
].
I am sure that there are lots of good hoarder stories out there in forum land. Please favor us with a few.

I acquired it on or about April first of this year.
I am also hoarding these too, but I think I have a long way to go...

AU-54 is IMO not a grade at all. It is nonsense disguised in grade form; it has no cognitive meaning. Numerals are mere culturally accepted abbreviations of descriptive grades; "54" is not one of them.

Actor Adolphe Menjou accumulated 250 MCMVII HR double eagles. His hoard was sold at auction in the 1970s.
Dave Bowers wrote an interesting book on coin hoards. The there is Len Augsburger's new book on the Baltimore gold hoard. But both of these are more general, and not about one specific date.
