When James and Clarrisa Munford took possession of their new home in Columbia, SC, they found a collection of valuable rare coins dating back to the 19th century hidden away inside a closet. The 46 gold Liberty $5 coins and 18 Morgan silver dollars were said to be worth about $25,000, according to the Association of Mature American Citizens.
Did they keep the treasure? The Mumfords say they didn’t even think that to be an option.
Instead, without hesitation, they contacted the home’s former owner, who is a coin collector, and informed him of their find.
He said he normally puts the coins he collects in a safe and had completely forgotten that, for some reason, he’d stashed these coins in the closet.
Honesty is the best policy.
