PHOTOS: DULUTH COIN FIND, HOUSTON ANA DEALERS

 

The first is from Acme Newspictures, Inc. and is dated June 27, 1937. It shows two Duluth, Minnesota boys who uncovered a cache of USA gold coins. They are Donald Haglund, 11 (left) and Teddy Tedor, 7. They found a tin containing $1,050 face value comprised of half eagles, eagles and double eagles. The burial was estimated at around 1914, which evidently was the latest date found.

 

The second photo was taken by Roger Powers of The Houston Post and is dated August 23, 1978. It features Harold Kritzman (left) of Newington, Connecticut showing a coin to Karl Herzog of Odessa, Texas. Given the date, it was almost certainly taken during that year's ANA Convention in Houston. I recognize both of these dealers' names, though I don't believe I ever met either.

It should be noted that while I own these prints the copyrights still may be in effect. This is typical of most of the photos I've acquired over the years, but that doesn't prevent enjoying them.
