To all who gave.....Thany you.

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 ONLY railroad to pass through Den'ts Run was an off shoot of the Philadelphia - Erie Railroad and it was called the Low Grade. Now, what you have after reading this is two or three guys who worship Punxsutawney Phil and sample their own brand of Pennsylvania Mountain Juice. They're out to get their 5 minutes of fame and nothing more. On June 23, 1863, S. Wimmer came to Elk county as principal assistant engineer of the Pennsylvania company, to complete the Philadelphia & Erie Railroad from Whatham to Warren; of which E. Miller and Milton Courtright were chief contractors. In July, 1864, the road was practically completed; but not until March, 1865, did Mr. Wimmer sever his connection with the road, owing to his acceptance of a position as engineer on the Vera Cruz railroad, where the Wimmer bridge stands as one of the memorials of his work near La Cumbres de Maltrata. In March, 1869, he took charge of the building of the Benezette and Driftwood division of the Low Grade, and subsequently of the road from Benezette to DuBois, which was completed in 1874.

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'.

To all those who served................God bless you and thank you.

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.

What color do you like.

I know! And maybe the Fairy Godmother will bring me a new Corvette.

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

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.

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?

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.

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.

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

That's why I never sent mine in.

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.
