Thinking Wells Fargo GOLD...

I checked my 1908 No-Motto Wells Fargo Hoard notes. Only 1 coin graded less than MS-65, a sole MS-63.

But it's unclear if the entire 19,900 were graded OR if about 10,000 were clearly circulated and not graded and about 9,000 graded.

It's confusing. Wells Fargo certifications are not on the PCGS or NGC websites.

Love it !! where can I get that lust ideal

 

Nice, I just pulled the picture off the internet search, you could search for the owner...throw money at them till they sell??

Those colors go together well green and gold almost has a magical pull to suck you down the rabbit hole.
I'd say that's probably a top trophy holder, a high bar to grasp for.
Anyone else think there might be a slight premium for those?

 

For the OGH holders ? Absolutely !!

They are the ORIGINAL holders for the Wells Fargo Hoard coins....even if undergraded you'd rather have them in the PCGS (with a CAC) than in another PCGS or NGC holder with a higher grade.

The OGH itself generally represents conservative grading standards over the TPG grading era.

ANY coin is worth more in the OGH. For a coin with a pedigree, you want it in the original holder (esp. an OGH) even more.

 

Great "Show-n-Tell" @mpcusausa Thanks for sharing those beauties.

 

Remember this.....NO SAINT-GAUDENS Double Eagles are as plentiful in MS67-69 grades. So if you want a Saint in those grades, this is the cheapest coin in those grades.

Most MS-67's will cost about $12,000 and up. The 1908 NM/WF coins run about $5,000 cheaper.

 

Any folks active in the 1990's who can shed light: were the entire 19,900 Wells Fargo Saints graded/certified....or were about 10,000 or so held out because they were not worthy of being sent in ?

The totals I see for the grades add up to just over 9,000 coins. Can't account for about 10,000 of the hoard.

Doesn't make sense that half the stash were pristine and the other half AU or low-60's grades not worthy of being sent in for grading.

 

That would be ideal for what I am looking
for, I am sure the CAC certification would
bring a nice premium but if your going
to spend the dollars, go all the way

 

An MS-66 CAC 1908 No Motto Saint OGH will run about $4,500 to $5,000.

 

Now all I need is to find one

 

They're not super-rare...they ARE out there.

Maybe strecth for an MS-67 ?

 

mpcusa, are you only looking for the WF Hoard marked slabs?

 

To0 bloody 'rich' for me........

 

yes just like the 66 on the previous page with out that nasty mark on the reverse.

 

I just realized that a similar coin that I found over at HA also has the same W-F serial code.

I never noticed !!

 

Would make sense that a Wells Fargo hoard attributed coin would have the extra W-F attached in the serial designation.
That's why I thought it odd that the one pictured before didn't have it.
The number still checks out and says Wells Fargo on the PCGS site.

 

I don't know if ALL coins with the OGH graded by PCGS have that designation.

Maybe GDJMSP or Insider or another vet can chime in....
