Included in the Kagin’s Inc., display at the Oct. 9 to 11 show at Millennium Broadway Hotel will be the finest known example of an 1866-S Coronet, No Motto double eagle as well as several of the canisters the more than 1,400 Saddle Ridge coins were in when discovered in California gold country in 2013, according to a PNG release.

"That [double eagle] coin alone is valued at over $1 million,” Kagin’s president Donald Kagin said.

PNG executive director Robert Brueggeman said the upcoming show will be the first occasion in New York City at which any of the coins of the $10 million Saddle Ridge Hoard are present.

The Saddle Ridge Hoard was unearthed in 2013 by a couple walking their dog.
