Treasure Blog: US Double Eagle Gold Coins, Champagne, France

497 of them, hidden in an attic, came raining down during renovations.

Dated 1851-1928, so they are Liberty Head and St. Gauden's pattern.

Value over one million USD.

Workers get half of them? Sweet. Guess they were taken out of the US to avoid Franklin Roosevelt's roundup of gold coins.
