No legitimate claim to $10 million California gold find, firm says
The currency firm representing a California couple who found $10 million worth of rare Gold Rush-era coins buried on their property says no valid claim to the collection has emerged, despite rumors that the stash was swiped in a 1901 heist.
A sale of the treasure trove, which includes 1,400 gold pieces in nearly mint condition, will proceed as planned, said coin expert David McCarthy of currency firm Kagin's.
"To my knowledge, no legitimate claims have surfaced, and I don't think that any will," McCarthy told Reuters.
Theories about the history of the Saddle Ridge Hoard, named by the owners after an area of land where they unearthed the coins in April, have emerged since the discovery was made public last week.
The coins were discovered buried in eight decaying metal cans on the couple's property in California's so-called Gold Country.
