Coin cache unearthed

Jack Suneson bought a downtown property on Commerce Street thinking it was a good spot for tourists to part with their money. But someone had already parted with a stockpile of coins at the site — nearly 130 years ago. Suneson is a businessman from Nuevo Laredo who owns Marti’s, a Mexican arts and crafts store. On Monday, a construction crew was digging up dirt to lay a foundation for Suneson’s new store at 310 W. Commerce St. A backhoe uncovered about 200 U.S. quarters, half dollars and silver dollars dating between 1852 and 1880. The crew also found a gold coin from that era
