ST. LOUIS—Six rare Civil War-era coins stolen last month from the St. Louis Museum of Transportation have been recovered.
KMOX Radio reports that St. Louis County police got the coins back, but authorities have offered no details and no arrests have been made.
The coins were part of an exhibit entitled “Money of the U.S. Civil War.” They disappeared soon after they were put on display in June.
The stolen coins were minted between 1849 and 1862. One of them, an 1862 half-eagle, is valued at $15,000. The coins were on loan from the American Numismatic Association Money Museum in Colorado Springs, Colo.
