Experts say the coins are dated from 1840 to 1862 and are estimated to be worth over well over $2 million.
"The Civil War was a time of great turmoil in Kentucky. Many families were pitted against one another, and Kentucky saw much conflict," NGC said."The Great Kentucky Hoard may have been a result of this conflict, with the coins lost for over 150 years until they were unearthed in a cornfield."
Even though the discovery is being dubbed by the NGC as"the discovery of a lifetime," officials are not releasing the identity of the man who found the coins, how he found them and the location of the cornfield.
