I'm not a registry guy, but don't the "points" for various coins take into account rarity and/or price ?
FWIW....I ranked all of the Saints (all 54 non-proof types, including the UHR and 1933) by quintiles (10 or 11 coins in each quintile). Looks...
I found the list interesting, but most of us would probably appreciate a list where all the coins cost under $10,000. Maybe even $5,000.
If a hoard is found, and it's a decent % of the existing total, then absolute rarity can change, right ? That's what happened with the SSCA and...
Well, he doesn't explain it in the book's early sections so maybe it was talked about elsewhere. That was before my time. I suspect based on...
They're on my TO BUY list. I'm working through inventory as I speak. :D I guess what you and BB21 are saying is what I have deduced....it's...
I found that R-thing: 1909 $20 MS65 PCGS. The 1909-P is a highly respected condition rarity in the Saint-Gaudens series, rated as an R.8 by Akers...
I'd be a bit short, but I'd look for a MCMVII 1907 High Relief AU58 Saint. :D
Confirmed, PF...it was from the little book that came with the coin. Page 43: "The draft angle was established at 45 degrees to minimize collar...
That 4-pound gold disc is 64 ounces ? It looks like a penny or nickle in that PCGS holder. How can that holder even hold it ?
But with all the double-counting, can you really guestimate the range of the population size ?
Clearly, some people within the USPS, UPS, and FedX are seeing multiple packages go between certain addresses or they are looking them up on the...
Oh, I thought you meant the 1861 Paquet Liberty DE.
That's fine for me, I liked the Indian Head and Saint-Gaudens rankings in Akers books, he pretty much based it on total number of coins for the...
I think I read that the lettering or devices on the 2009 UHR were 1.4 mm high.
I was re-reading my HANDBOOK OF 20th CENTURY GOLD COINS 1907-33 by Akers and it has a couple of Rarity Rankings in the appendix. One for total...
No excuse for pore tipeographical eras. :mad: Use a damn spillcheck !! :D
What have the 1861-D's sold for in the recent past ?
PF, do you know the DEPTH from the rim to the deepest part of the field for the 1907 HR and 1907 UHR ? And maybe how that compares to more...
There are lots of variables at play: BitCoin....rising inflation....commodity shortages.....currency debasements. I would lean towards NO as far...
Separate names with a comma.
