⇗ Treasure Coin Takes Center Stage: A Surge in Historical Coin Discoveries and Cryptocurrency Hunts

Recent discoveries in both the United Kingdom and United States highlight incredible finds of historical coins, some from as far back as the Roman Empire. Coins, including a 20-cent piece selling for $870,000 and a dollar coin worth up to $132,000, have been finding their way back into the market. Underwater, salvage operations has led to the retrieval of over $1 million worth of stolen gold from shipwrecks such as the 1715 hurricane-wrecked fleet off of Florida. Furthermore, treasure hunts incentivized by massive prizes are growing in popularity. A nationwide hunt was sparked by a cryptocurrency millionaire who hid bitcoins worth over $100,000 each while another Bitcoin investor hid $2 million across five different chests in the U.S. Roman coins and Anglo-Saxon gold coins, both with substantial value, have been unearthed during construction in the U.K. Groups of friends are using metal detectors to uncover Norman-era coins and even hoards of Viking-era treasure. From Roman silver coins “hidden in a hole in the wall” in Sicily to gold coins from 300-year-old Spanish shipwrecks, these treasure-hunts have yielded results and stirred up significant media interest.
