Well, technically they're not wrong. The coins WERE shipped overseas for trade settlements. But they've been coming over for decades, not just...
Sounds like speculators and hoarders.
Prices At The Superb Gem Level: MS-67's Saints are selling for $12,500 give-or-take for 1924's and about 10% higher, ~$14,000 for 1928's. Both...
Yup, but the book came out in 2018 so I figured it was (1) close enough to 2021 or 2022 and (2) that with the methodology RWB employs it might...
No, the 1921 is rarer than the 1927-D in Gem Quality/MS-64 and above. RWB's Saint-Gaudens book has the 1921 population in MS-65 and above at 4....
2-parter.....this year has the highest production of Saint-Gaudens coins....and this year has the highest survival rate of coins we enjoy today....
(1) What about a fluorescent light ? (2) TPGs don't use a 10x lens do they ? I am not sure they use any except many on top coins, right ?

I went back for a 3rd look (hope that's allowed; each time was about 15 seconds)....what's weird is that I see what looks to be mathematical...
I went back for a 2nd look.....the stars and the shape of the leg look very well-struck, not blotchiness or mushy strikes....tell signal of a...
I see a field with some very small dings....I see some discoloration blotches...I see some bagmarks.....but for a field at 20X, I would say it is...
Is it the silver combining with oxygen or other elements in the air ?
It's not about complaining, Charley....I think on-balance the TPGs have been a Godsend to this industry, esp. to novice/interemdiate collectors...
Some Gold Stock/Bullion Research:
GDJMSP is a veteran, clearly knows the ins-and-outs of grading along with other veterans here (maybe including you too, Charley :D). I have been...
Thanks Doug...great comments as always.
I wasn't referring to the spike in price because of a higher grade OR CAC....but rather the same coin, CAC or no CAC, in PCGS vs. NGC holders.
Am I wrong to believe that at some point the bubble in premiums will burst....especially when a Top Coin or near-Top Coin collects 50-100% (or...
Again...and I don't claim to have anywhere near the depth and experience of people like you P&G...or GDJMSP...etc.....but it really seems bizarre...
Fascinating....I was pleasantly surprised that the OP here got to split the proceeds with the dealer. Seems like an honest guy to do that.
