    I simply used the three cert. numbers from the PCGS Home page advert., and scaled forwards and backwards to verify they were Saddle Ridge. Several other 64+ to 65+ are listed, but no images as yet. There are a ton of 1886-S eagles which are imaged......and can I say, those 86-S eagles have a very sweet basined look to the fields.....SCARY!!!!

    The wild colors you see are the results of the coin's copper reacting with the atmosphere around it.Psychedelic Copper Toner.Do you like that?

    The photos of Saddle Ridge gold I have seen so far all appear to be truly uncirculated mint state coins. They don't show the signs of excessive handling seen on so many mint state gold coins.

    It will be interesting to see how they do in the marketplace. I suspect they will do very well.

    Seriously it has an interesting look but it wasn't part of the hoard it would be considered doctored.

    Agreed. The toning is due to impurities IN the surface that were left alone for 120 years to tone.

    In the interest of full and honest disclosure, should it be stated somehow on the label [say ms66C] that these coins have indeed been cleaned or otherwise conserved?

    Nah, but I did wonder why they didn't ensconce the hoard in Secure™ holders; at least the ones which are higher grades; the PopToppers™!

    There's no need to add a C for Conserved as that's why they have the gold foil slab labels just like the shipwreck ocean salvaged gold coins.

    why undo what took over a hundred years to create? i think it looks awesome just like it is!
  • agentjim007agentjim007 Posts: 6,256 ✭
    If those coins can come out of those crusty cans that clearly no care was taken in there storage just think what the gold coins we are use to seeing went through. They got the hell knock out of them to turn out the way they are now. We handle gold coins like they are made out of nitro glycerin. They can take a bit more than that.

    I got an MS66 Peace w CAC that now to my older and maybe wiser eyes doesn't look the same to me that it did 5 years ago.
    Now it looks like its been processed much like these Gold Coins have. Although probably being Silver, the Peace Dollar was
    in worst shape at the beginning of the process.

    My Peace $1 looks like it's been finely buffed with some sort of hi speed wheel. Also on the reverse, there is a dark spot
    remaining. I can only imagined what it looked like before being conserved into green bean condition. Got it from a very vocal
    main street dealer, not a back alley type .

    I'll keep this Coin as a reminder of action over big hype. Sometimes the loud ones just don't deliver to the same level as their
    big talk.

    It may only be a 62 but I don't see anything distractingly wrong with it. Miss Liberty does look like a walker in it, though, with that blood smear.

    Thanks for sharing. Great coin, great story!

    That is an odd way to conserve a coin.

    Getting dirt off a coin can hardly be construed as a problem.

    From what I hear, the coins are so fresh and original that one should try and own one just as a reference for what a gold coin of that era should look like!

    Yes as it also states "Kagin's specialists had the coins carefully cleaned" under photo # 6 of 15 in the article.

    that is odd. i thought by one of your previous posts, they were all done. i think you said something to the effect, i/we had to get assistance to image them all.

    although, i guess i inferred they were done by that statement. guess it depends on context and/or intent. i see now it can mean, i/we had to help imaging them all and we are still working on them so hold your horses everyone! image

    They were all photographed last month by Chrissie and myself, but cropping them all, putting them all into the template, and deploying them is another thing entirely and it's a little time consuming at this volume.
