YORKVILLE — Hundreds of gold and silver coins worth $1 million have disappeared from an East End Avenue home, according to the NYPD.

A 56-year-old woman who lives in the home near East 90th Street reported Monday that a collection of more than 900 American Gold Eagle and silver coins were missing from her apartment.

She said she hadn't seen the collection since Aug. 1, 2013. She went to look at it in April this year and discovered it missing.

Police couldn't say why she waited eight months before reporting the disappearance.

Authorities said they don't have any description of a suspect.

The New York Daily News first reported the incident.
