There are only about 4,000 1909/08 Saints, the only overdate in the Saint-Gaudens lineup. That's why the MS-63 is still pricey in that grade....
They're not super-rare...they ARE out there. Maybe strecth for an MS-67 ? :D
An MS-66 CAC 1908 No Motto Saint OGH will run about $4,500 to $5,000.
Any folks active in the 1990's who can shed light: were the entire 19,900 Wells Fargo Saints graded/certified....or were about 10,000 or so held...
Remember this.....NO SAINT-GAUDENS Double Eagles are as plentiful in MS67-69 grades. So if you want a Saint in those grades, this is the cheapest...
For the OGH holders ? Absolutely !! They are the ORIGINAL holders for the Wells Fargo Hoard coins....even if undergraded you'd rather have them...
I checked my 1908 No-Motto Wells Fargo Hoard notes. Only 1 coin graded less than MS-65, a sole MS-63. But it's unclear if the entire 19,900 were...
The OGH is the way to go....is the original holder for the 1st batch graded. If you see an MS-66 or below in anything OTHER than an OGH, it might...
It says Wells Fargo. That was the hoard...you don't need the word "hoard" on it to know it was part of The WF Hoard. Do you need the word...
Since there are NO RAW 1908 No Motto Wells Fargo coins out there, that would be difficult. :D They were ALL (to my knowledge) graded by PCGS,...
So $2,300 got 156 bids, so that's definitely seen as FMV by multiple bidders. Just makes that $3,900 more ridiculous. I've never seen him less...
I'm not an "investor" in gold...I buy my coins which are a separate issue (though tied to them depending on the level of numismatic premium)...I...
Gold up 4th straight day....highest level since June. Baby steps.....:D
In MS-64 is that considered a common generic ? It's some condition scarcity so a modest premium to gold....they sell for about $2,400 including...
RBC's year-end gold valuation charts, commentary, ratios, etc. Gold's average price is up 8 straight years in a row ! :wideyed:
I am in the financial field and we talk about the unprecedented amount of financial assets that will be transfered in the next few decades....the...
Great analysis....as far as the Mint and Proof sets I grew up with in the 1960's and 1970's and 1980's....those LARGELY haven't really...
MPCUSA, RTE......MS-66 OGH 1908 No Motto Wells Fargo Saint....no bids so far at GC for $3,600 excluding bp. Appears TOTAL cost (including bp.)...
RTE....I'll do some research on the "W" and "F" being at the beginning and end of Wells Fargo Hoard serial numbers. I don't know if it was just...
19,900 actually...one of the largest and most famous hoard finds, certainly dealing with gold and/or the Saint series. This thread has gotten a...
