1907 Gold $20 High Relief Found In Mystery Box Consigned To Greatcollections
Coin discovered in $375 WitterBrick mystery box purchase.
A lucky coin collector from the East Coast opened a $375 WitterBrick mystery box and discovered a valuable 1907 Saint-Gaudens High Relief Double Eagle ($20) CACG MS-64 inside - a coin that has already attracted 33 bids and a current bid of $37,000 at GreatCollections.
The collector is a long-time client of GreatCollections and consigned it within days of his discovery. Bidding will end on Sunday, November 17th at www.greatcollections.com.
The first series of the WitterBricks sold out within minutes. The consignor purchased two of the cheapest versions for just $375 each. WitterBricks contain only high-quality coins graded by CACG, with special labels each hand-signed by Seth Chandler, the founder of the company. Their guarantee is that buyers will receive at least 70% of the purchase price in CACG Price Guide value. Obviously, some lucky buyers will receive much higher-valued coins, such as this 1907 Gold High Relief Saint-Gaudens.
“It is great to see such a windfall for a client of ours - and so far, bidding has been strong. The label design is attractive, especially being a gold coin with a custom gold label,” said Ian Russell, president of GreatCollections.
Seth Chandler, who is the founder of the WitterBrick commented, “What a thrill for the consignor, to have opened the WitterBrick and discovered the 1907 High Relief - he has generously agreed to donate part of the proceeds to the Witter Coin University, and I will match whatever he donates personally.”
The 1907 Saint-Gaudens High Relief Double Eagle $20 coin will be on display at the Baltimore Coin Expo, November 14-16, 2024 (at the GreatCollections table #345), and also by appointment at the Irvine offices of GreatCollections.
