Rare gold coins found buried in Kentucky cornfield worth millions: 'In line with winning the lottery'
Location of Kentucky cornfield where coins were found remains mystery as experts speculate about the 1860s-dated currency
A cache of more than 800 Civil War-era gold coins were recently unearthed in a Kentucky cornfield — a treasure worth millions that experts are calling one of the greatest finds of the 21st century.
"It's hard to put this in context because there are so few instances of coins of this nature with this level of rarity being found in the ground in the United States," Andrew Salzberg, executive vice president of the Numismatic Guaranty Company’s Certified Collectibles Group, told Fox News Digital.
NGC, a third-party grading service for coins, tokens and medals based in Sarasota, Florida, certified the coins — dubbed the "Great Kentucky Hoard" — and valued them at more than $2 million.
