A true review !

Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2014

It seems this is the only venue to give a real review of a coin I actually bought from Amazon and have received. My coin (1884 ms61) is a magnificent and beautiful example of the Saddle Ridge treasure. The photos of the coin did not even come close to the actual shine and luster of the one I purchased. The greatly enlarged photos show imperfections that are not visible to the naked eye. My coin has exceeded my expectations. I am not a collector and did not buy this coin to make a profit. I just wanted to own one.

If you think that's stupid, then you're just not a (gold oriented) numismatist

Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2016

A lot of snarky comments here from people who obviously didn't buy one of these coins and just don' get it. Either you're into coins or you're not. If gold is your thing these are the ultimate high. If you think that's stupid, then you're just not a (gold oriented) numismatist. Full stop.

I actually bought one

Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2014

I actually bought one of these coins and have to say it is truly magnificent. The saddle ridge hoard is a part of American history that cannot be ignored, and to own a piece of it and be able to pass it down to my children truly makes me happy. I think these coins will dip in value over the next few years and then there will be a massive explosion of value. They aren't making any new 1880 gold coins folks. It's like buying land. There is only so much of it. Period. These are art… plain and simple. (And treasure… ARRRR!!!).

Legit Hoard

Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2014

In response to a couple reviewers who expressed doubt over the legitimacy and valuation of these coins, I suggest reading the Wikipedia article on the Saddle Ridge Hoard. It is a fascinating read, and links to a dozen news articles and journals like the LA Times, CNN and Coin Week.

Not for kids

Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2014

I bought this set for my 3 year old girl as a gift for finally being toilet trained. Once she calculated (she's very advanced mathematically) that instead of this fine set she could have had a stack of pennies over 2.5 miles high she became distraught. She threw them down the toilet and said 'how's that for irony?' Oh well, lesson learned, more is better.

This Has to Be the Best Choice

Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2014

I always use the "sort by average customer review" for any purchase on Amazon but was surprised this is the only one reviewed. So I bought them and I'm glad I did. My neighbor Fred wanted to sell some milk from his cow and thinking he is cutting edge he said I have to pay in Bitcoin. Well I fooled him. I gave him one of these coins and got five gallons of milk produced that day. I'll hang on to my Bitcoins until later.

While I was flying to Columbia on my diamond-encrusted private jet for my morning coffee, my friend Mark Cuban called and told me about this great deal on these rare coins. Saddle Ridge coins? Are you kidding me? I've been looking for these all my life even though I didn't know they existed! Let's just say I didn't have time to wait the 3-5 shipping days it would take to get these. I sent my private jet to pick up the owner of these coins and I had 3.12 million dollars in cash waiting for him at my estate instead of 2.75 million....you know, for any inconvenience that him flying to me on my private jet may have caused him. After we had a round of golf and had lunch at the Montage, we finally concluded our business arrangement and I sent him on his way. Superb quality coins these are. I highly recommend if you cannot afford these coins, you sell your home, cars and withdrawal your 401k so you can have these in your collection.
