Peace: 65 Morgan: 64-65 Lincoln: 20-25? (but I don't have my ANA book with me)
Got it opened... finally! Tried the acetone soak... didn't work (by itself). Tried shaking it inside a cardboard box (couldn't find a wooden...

The coin counter spit this out yesterday. It sounds *very* different when dropped (rather "dull" sounding). It weighs 11.0 grams. Edit:...
Very cool. Congrats! What percentage "off" do you estimate that to be?
Gold was a bit higher when he quoted me $1300/ea for the 8% over melt.
So a follow-up question: How much money am I throwing away if I buy one of these? I.e., if I ever go to sell it, assuming the price of gold is...
Shoot, I'd pursue it based on the guy's name alone... "Leopold The Hogmouth" @stevex6, yeah, they sure don't name 'em like that anymore! ;-)
Do you guys think any of these are better than the original coin I posted? These would be 8% over melt as opposed to 6% for that one.
Thank you for bringing up a point that I forgot to mention. Is it generally agreed that those are the "best struck" dates, regardless of grade?
Thanks. On a tangent... how would the list change if it were specifically for MS65? * Remove the 1923 * ... others deleted? * ... others added?

For example, a Gold Sovereign from the early 1900's being sold for melt is nothing special, right? I should be able to find people here with the...
Am I missing any? Are any incorrect? I am defining "common" by "which are the cheapest". This roughly translates into mintage numbers, but is...
Current melt is $2.3884... they are certainly not making a ton of money if they are buying it at $2.25/coin...?
Actual *melt* for a $20 Saint right now is $1,203.57. The seller is asking $1275, so technically it is 5.6% over spot (if my math is correct)....
I'm no expert but am also interested in these. I'll take a crack at it. Obv: G-4, Rev: Poor At the moment, I'm a purist and don't really believe...
What % below melt will a LCS or those "We Buy Gold" places pay?
Some will reply: "Well, I would only ever pay melt and no more!"... but is that ever really possible? I have the chance to buy a cleaned/polished...
Separate names with a comma.
