Family stunned at value of gold coins they've kept for 100 years

A family has learned the rare gold coins they held onto for over 100 years weren't worth $50,000 like they thought, but rather a staggering $2 million.

The 19th century collection, put together by historic coin collector Henry Chapman in 1899, was taken out from a Philadelphia bank vault earlier this year, where it had been safely stored for decades.

There were 51 Liberty Head and Indian Head gold dollar coins minted between 1849 and 1889, as well as eight US commemorative gold dollars made in the early 20th century.
