One can only wonder how many coins exist out there in the US in random places the past 250 years even 500 years that were forgotten. Their price probably is dictated by condition and rarity of collection not necessarily so much by how old it is. In principle nothing prevents someone that has long roots in US to have had coins from 5 generations ago. And there should be thousands that go back 2-3 centuries no?
