Description:
UNITED STATES, San Francisco Mint, gold $20 coronet Liberty "double eagle," 1883-S, PCGS AU53 (Saddle Ridge Hoard Label).
The Saddle Ridge Hoard was discovered in February of 2013 by a couple walking their property in Northern California. The find consisted of U.S. gold coins, mostly $20 double eagles, buried in eight metal canisters. To this day, very little is known about why this hoard came to be buried; speculation has ranged from a life savings stored away for security to a Wild West robbery. Bright example from this hoard with minor surface friction for the grade, nicely detailed Liberty and particularly sharp eagle. (PCGS #28809014)
From the "Saddle Ridge Hoard" (stated on label), housed in a special promotional wooden box with booklet.
