I swear that I've seen that coin before. But where? Do you know if it was in Anaconda's inventory for a while? Is it a PCGS MS65 (IIRC?)

Beautiful coin and excellent photos. Care to put it in a give-a-way contest??

I don't know where Jack acquired it, but it is PCGS MS63.

I'm sure Jack would love to include this in his next give a way.

A giveaway, who the heck would want a toned gold twenty??

Very nice. I agree with Chad. It looks like a Saint Anaconda had for sale about a year ago.

[MunkyMan95]

Jack, could you enlighten us, please?

[toneddollars]

I have owned it for longer than that, and it did not come from Annaconda.

That is a different coin. I was contemplating buying the coin from Anaconda. When I finally made up my mind to make an offer, it was gone. Here is the photo to refresh your memory.

Very nice Coin

Holy cow, I've never seen gold tone like the two pictured in this thread! How does this happen, that is, what is the chemistry behind it? I know silver toning is usually due to silver sulfide, and I know that anything toned on goldl must be some sort of thin film, but how does this happen? Is it due to the copper?

[lehigh96]

I have decided to revive this thread in order to save my other thread from being permanently hijacked. I have found a wonderful double eagle with obverse and reverse toning and would like to get some opinions regarding originality (AT vs NT).

 

 

Hints of mint green on the obverse and much more pronounced green, pink, and russet on the bottom periphery of the reverse.

[PCcoins]

I predict NT.

[Connecticoin]

NT, no question. Nice coin, probably even nicer looking than the crappy Heritage pics.

[Oldtrader3]

Looks legit to me. Nice Coronet double eagle. Nice date, beautiful condition! I would worry about the green copper stain though. IMHO, might be vinyl, hydrogen chloride stain on copper spot?

Is that from the central america? If so, I would put it between AT and NT since it's technically not artificial, but I would hardly call toning from 150 years in salt water natural either.

Oh come on now, the ship wasn't sunk on purpose to get toning on the coin. The bottom of the sea floor just happened to be the coin's storage place. I don't know much about the shipwreck, specifically the depth, but below certain depths, the ocean is not a harsh environment.

 

 

[PCcoins]

I agree that being stored underwater for a long time would not be considered AT. Just the process of mother nature acting for 151 years.

[lehigh96]

How about this fantastic Saint. One day I am going to buy a Saint like this for my Type Set, but I always get side tracked by a phenomenal toned silver, nickel, or copper coin.

Here's one I owned at one time. Note obverse.
