A very interesting read.  Thanks.

I remember of few of my grandfather's friends one time talking about this.  hey were drinking beer and laughing as I remember it.  

"The government has long claimed its dig was a bust. But a father-son pair of treasure hunters who spent years hunting for the fabled Civil War-era gold — and who led agents to the woodland site, hoping for a finder’s fee — suspect the FBI double-crossed them and made off with a cache that could be worth hundreds of millions of dollars."

The FBI - Buried Treasure - Two Treasure Hunters - FBI Double Cross...........mover over Oak Island - there's a new fantasy coming.  BTW:  Internet ADs saying 'Visit Pennsylvania's Great Outdoors at Dent's Run."

The supposed 1863 trainload of gold buried in Dent’s Run in Pennsylvania. 
 

I've been hearing about that since I was a kid.  I believe they have dug up not on Dent but all the area from the New York border to Philadelphia looking for the 'Lost Gold'.

Some more of JP's great nickels.

So happy for you now yo're feeling much better.  Those hospital stays are a wonderful thing but........there's no place like home.  

Those are awesome.  That was a very interesting essay as I know very little about 'patterns'

JP definitely has good taste.  NGC & PCGS and in MS 66 Full Steps.  Definitely a 

Seems like you have a taste for MS 66.

Me too.  Another Carson City.  They're a really great bunch.

a very sharp dealer -

I have bought quite a few, very nice coins from Northeast for years now.  I really can't say enough good about them.  The Wells Fargo was the first Saint I ever bought.  I also buy from Northern Nevada.  Thanks for the advice.

@ScottZ  That is one very nice looking Carson City.  I have one but, being curious, how much?  You aren't going to have a hard time selling it.

I wouldn’t expect the coin to sticker.

Kind of thought so.  It's been sitting in my desk for a while.  Thanks very much for looking.  It is a Wells Fargo 65.  Maybe one day.

Had one.

Like that 1941 D.  But then who couldn't like an MS 66?

What grade did that coin get,

NGC MS-65.  Not much over average but, if CAC were accepting, I would have taken a chance.  Maybe JA would have given me a break.

..I would have thought they got most of the low-hanging fruit the first few years

One would think that but.....I believe it took a short while for the 'Wait and See ers' to become true believers.

And once again we have strayed from the OP.   Wells Fargo Hoard.

but i still dont currently see CAC as premium driven....

Me neither.  CAC is out there and they aims to stay.  At this point in CAC's history I would call them Lucrative.

but at one time I read that JA/CAC had never stickered a single coin from the Wells Fargo Saint-Gaudens Hoard

That's why I never sent mine in.

not sure that CAC, the entity, is premium orientated

In their first years CAC bought up at least 1 million of their stickered coins.  You do know what they call this in the Stock Market when a person puts out his stock then buys it himself in large quantities to up the price.

You've done well.
