This group of 1908 twenties is the highest quality old bank hoard ever sold. Some 19,000 pieces were in the hoard, all No Motto issue of 1908. Many Gems and higher level were graded according to the distributor of the hoard. The dates printed on the original bank bags in which they were stored showed them to have been salted away in 1917! Uncleaned and fresh, they are today popular options to collecting the double eagle series of gold coins. The name "Wells Fargo" was chosen since they stored for a time in a Wells Fargo Bank in Nevada, whose name has since been attached to the hoard by PCGS's inclusion of the title on the holders (PCGS # 9142) .
