Lincoln Highway Hoard question.

[nk1nk]

Does anyone know how many coins were graded in this hoard? Any further break down of grades would be great to know also. And any general history of this hoard.

 

Post a picture if you own one.

The information I have found on the hoard is that it was a group of approximately 8,000 silver dollars that were found in total.

 

What I haven't found is whether all 8,000 were graded and given the "Lincoln Highway Hoard" pedigree.

 

I know with the Battle Creek Collection there were 10,000 silver dollars found and graded by NGC. But only about 1500 of those were given the "Battle Creek Collection" pedigree on the labels. They were the coins getting star grades and having really nice toning.

 

My guess is that only the toned coins from the Lincoln Highway Hoard were given the pedigree as well since the only pedigreed NGC coins I've seen on the market have had some toning. Surely there were lots of plain white coins amongst the coins in the hoard too.

 

Here's my best example:

Beautiful example Illini! I like that very much, yes indeed.

would be fun to do an all pedigree coin registry set.
