Moving to a new house, the owner was startled by the vault in the closet

Having just moved into a new home, a couple in South Carolina (USA) found a forgotten treasure in a cupboard.
For personal reasons, a couple in South Carolina (USA) decided to sell their house after 32 years of marriage. After cleaning the house and completing the transfer paperwork, the couple packed up all the furniture for the new owner to move in.

Mr. James Munford (retired military service) and Mrs. Clarissa Munford (owner of a catering business) bought the house with the savings of the couple. At the end of October 2020, James and his wife decided to move to a new house to live. While packing, the couple was surprised to discover a hidden and forgotten “vault” in this very house. Accordingly, when he opened the wardrobe drawer to check, Mr. James was startled when inside there were many ancient coins made of gold and silver. Ancient silver and gold coins hidden in the closet When they took it out, they found a total of two boxes containing 64 ancient coins, including 46 $5 Liberty gold coins and 18 Morgan silver coins. These ancient coins are believed to date back to the 1800s, and are very valuable. “They look very old, but they look absolutely worth it,” Mr James said. Legally, the James and his wife bought the house and what they unearthed in the house will be legal property. However, he and his wife did not do so. Mr. James took pictures of these ancient coins and sent them to the former owner of the house to confirm and return to its owner. “I simply thought it wasn’t our property and I really don’t know the exact value of these coins. They could be family heirlooms, so I want the owner The true owner of this “treasure” received them,’ Mr. James confided. Then, the old owner of the house came to ask for this antique back. This person said that the coins could be worth up to $ 25,000 (about 572 million dong). The previous owner said that he kept these 2 boxes in a drawer a few months ago. When moving house, because he was in a hurry, he forgot 2 boxes and didn’t remember anything until Mr. James contacted him. He said he still keeps part of the coin collection in the safe.
