The trove was rediscovered in 1926.[2] The coins were then given out as souvenirs and keepsakes to clients until 1948 when the American Numismatic Society examined the remaining 1,641 coins. The cache became known as the Bank of New York Hoard. Several of the coins were donated to the society while others were sold to collectors.[2][5] All of the coins found were in mint state condition, most with brown toning and some with water damage.[5][6] The bank retained 819 of the coins.[5][7]
