Great story about recently discovered gold coin stash in California

Oh, Good! Something I can answer :acclaim:

 

Congress: 43% (of a total of 435) :kidaround:

Senate: 60% (of a total of 100) :sumo:

House of Reps: 37% (of a total of 535) :ohnoez: (2/3 Rule :cry:)

 

I will challenge you. Your numbers make no sense unless it is another country you are referencing.

 

Congress is made up of the two houses; The Senate and The House of Representatives..

 

The House of Representatives is set by law to 435 members

The Senate of the United States is comprised of 100 members (2 from each state) with the Vice President being the 101'st if you want to get technical.

 

That adds up to 535 total not 635.

 

Maybe I just don't understand your sophisticated mathematics. (shrug)

 

That maybe sewage your smelling as napalm has a distinct jellied gasoline smell to it. :baiting:

 

 

Yep, typing to fast...5 for 4, 4 for 5.

The number 6 not typed. Decision stands.

 

As to the VP...well, nobody listens to him anyway :banana::foryou:

 

As to human error, we all make them.

As an example, "...That maybe.." as opposed to "...That may be...".

 

:baiting: Back at ya.... :foryou:

Thank you and ditto. Yes, I got a law degree, but never practiced a day. I went into the coin business about a week after (I am happy to say I passed) my bar exam.
I once had a bar exam but failed and had to be driven home.

I'm still skepticl. I smell a rat.

 

Fair enough. Do some investigating and present us with some facts that present a story other than the initial one being told.

 

Remember, facts only. No heresay or supposition.

Yes, please, some facts as to why you are suspicious.

 

And simply being jealous that they found something and you did not is not sufficient grounds to take this away from them.

This hoard was different from most: the finders were smart, they did independent research, got appropriate legal advice, and had the untouched coins evaluated by professional numismatists. The result will be maximum quality, and maximum total return on the find.

 

I hope they do good things with the money.

Me too Roger. That's why I get upset with people who want to find some nefarious conspiracy. Why can't they just be happy for them and their good fortune (rhetorical)?
