You can keep the coins. I just want the can. I know that's what'll have the long-term staying power with collectors.
Read the reviews on this listing: http://www.amazon.com/Finest-Saddle-Original-1866-1894-Various/product-reviews/B00KH13U8G/ Some folks are having fun.
They should have come in a rusty can... That there is easily worth another $500 a coin... I'm available for consulting work Mr. Kagin...
I think there will be more hoards discovered in the future. Any wealthy collector or dealer can buy a thousand circulated double eagles, put them in old cans, bury them in the their yard for a few years. Dig them up, call the press, get them graded as fill in the blank hoard. Make 3 times your money when they sell them.
Just checked out some prices. 1879-S $20 PCGS XF40 Price Guide Value = $1,555 (Down from $1570) Amazon Price = $3,150 Saddle Ridge Premium = $1,595 Upside = None Decision to buy = No. These will be long term loser's unless Gold decides to hit $2500 an ounce. Then they'll be winners. (Along with everything else)
How about the mint state pieces? An 1880's or early nineties S mint $20 has always been expensive in say MS63. I certainly agree that these common date circs are vastly overpriced.
Actually, even if gold hits that price, they could be losers. They'll certainly be LAGGARDS. Has anybody been tracking the Saddle Ridge coins the last few years price-wise ?
