For those who follow the Saddle Ridge saga here is some new news:

Rare Saddle Ridge Coin up for resale

Treashunt

Pretty coin, amazing price

Does anyone really want to pay more than the original sale price for these coins? It will be interesting to see if it sells or if it sits.

Seems to be a sales stunt to move the remaining coins out of inventory. Sorry no discounts on the leftovers.
If anything look for price increases.

A quick check on the original link now identifies the coin as "Sold."

Yes, because it now has a sticker

A CAC sticker on a conserved coin

That's not the first "beaned" coin that made me think"WTH were they thinking?", so it's really no surprise to me.

i haven't seen this particular coin, but i some of the SRH coins i have seen have pretty amazing luster, despite being conserved. the luster on this coin could be putting it over the top and that's something that's hard to capture in it's essence...blazing luster. i bet this coin has it.

In this age of buy the label - before the coin how do we know the CAC bean isn't for the extradinary slab label
itself ? The label does sort of look like gold leaf. Maybe the bean is a judgement on the quality of the label?

That and it has been suggested that many of the SRH coins were under graded to begin with.

That's why I scrape them off. But to be fair, even PCGS gave it a +.

That cheek is really clean for the grade. Or so it seems to me. I always have trouble with gold coins.

Please tell me you are joking with that last comment? She looks like a scarface - that is the cheek cut for cheating with somebody's husband, I've been told. Yikes, the cheek distracts me more than a very little.

For some reason the cheeks on a number of the Saddle Ridge coins look like that. Curious if it has something to do with the conservation technique or if they were that way in the cans.
