    Here's the TrueView. I think this may end up being the signature coin for the set, like the 1892-CC half eagle is for the Saddle Ridge Hoard.

    That is an amazing treasure and the ingots are really neat. I worked in a plating industry for several years. We did high volume gold plating for electronic parts. We would reclaim gold waste as well and once or twice a year I would send out an ingot which we would receive payment for...usually in the form of gold/cyanide for use in the baths. Always fun to carry one through the plant....people would want to 'feel how heavy it was'...and be shocked at the weight of such a seemingly small hunk of metal. Gold was much cheaper then... Cheers, RickO

    It will be interesting to learn whether some of the smaller ingots are again going to be available. The Q. David Bowers tome "A California Gold Rush History" has pages and pages of various sized ingots preserved in full color from the original S.S. Central America recovery. (May well be a complete record of all those recovered.)

    It will be of interest to learn whether the already 1055 page work will end up being supplemented to add the newbies?

    Great photo Phil!

    While they are all assembled, it would be great to take a photo like the one below recently posted by @RogerB. You can leave out the red circle but it's there to show some coins can add some nice scale!

    The closest I have to an ingot is a mold from the California gold rush era in which the melted gold was poured to make ingots. I should probably microscopically check to see if any of the yellow metal was retained on the inner surfaces. :)
