    This doesn’t seem to be some ancient horde as Elizabeth ll sovereigns can be seen in the bucket. Post WWll.

    The markings on the bars seem late 1950s/early 1960s (some seem older), the coins are mixed, I can see George VI and Elizabeth II (the first portrait).

    Isn't there some surveillance technology that would have identified this large group of gold as an anomaly?

    Very odd. My first guess would have been WWII related but as pointed out, the QEII coins eliminate that theory.

    Organized crime? Cold War stash by the the Allies in case of Soviet invasion?

    The round-mark "RMR" (Rothschild Metal Refinery) bars have the year stamped on them.
    I see "1957", "1960", and "1961".

    I don't know if they'll affect "collector values" much - they'll likely all be "bullion grade" sovereigns. Unless there happens to be some rare date/mintmark combinations in there.

    Some of them are modern, but some are older - I can see at least one QV Jubilee Head, from the 1880s/1890s. But all in all, it looks pretty much like what I'd assume a "standard bulk lot of sovereigns available in the 1960s" would look like.

    Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one.
