What makes these so valuable is that they are still in clump form.
99% of treasure coins are always reduced down to individual coins and sold off that way.

Pawn Stars Facts
Sometimes the history and origin of items on Pawn Stars is a little bit iffy. Sometimes something looks old but it's really about the same age as psp batteries. I did learn this really cool fact when someone brought in actual buried treasure. The coins had fused together and were in a large clump. The guy was asking $700,000 for this clump of coins, so I guess it really does add to the value a lot. Sometimes things that you think will hurt the price help it. Also, sometimes when you think you are repairing or refinishing an item you're really hurting the value of it. I would have thought the individual coins were worth more. Here’s a quote from the show.
