I did a quick look up on the Granite Lady Hoard and found that it seems like these were ones that survived the fire in 1906. I wonder if this means they were stored in the Mint during the fire?
After recent negotiations, Monaco Rare Coins successfully negotiated the acquisition of the San Francisco-minted Type-I $20 gold coins that survived this historic natural disaster in San Francisco in 1906. These coins have now been graded and certified by NGC and feature a unique ”Granite Lady Hoard” provenance on the NGC holder’s label.

Great looking original surfaces. It has escaped the coin dip or worse!
Sat untouched in a vault in the San Fransisco mint for 37+ years...
