coins that dated from 1610 to 1828. According to auction house Spink & Son, the cache of 260 coins could fetch as much as $290,000. From CNN:

“The coins almost certainly belonged to the Fernley-Maisters, Joseph and Sarah who married in 1694,” reads the press release[…]

Something doesn’t add up. How could the coins from 1828 belong to a couple that got married 134 years earlier? And it said the floorboards were 18th century.
