This Connecticut Coin Service Found $60K in a Client's Attic Box
Ridgefield, Conn. – September 30, 2026 -- A new concierge-style evaluation service in Fairfield County is helping homeowners find out if the coins and jewelry gathering dust in their attics are actually worth a fortune.
A client's inherited coins turned out to be worth $60,000
Liberty Ridge Coins & Bullion, founded in 2025 by Ridgefield resident Jay Goodman, recently evaluated a customer's inherited coin collection and identified two rarities: a 1907 High Relief Saint-Gaudens $20 gold coin, one of only 12,367 struck, and a rare 1801 $10 Draped Bust gold coin. Graded by PCGS at the ANA coin show in Pittsburgh at MS64 and AU53 respectively, the pair is worth roughly $60,000 in certified condition. Goodman noted that exceptional examples of these same coins can fetch more than $1.2 million combined.
