Prices were much lower vs. the need to have something for your savings (nobody trusted most banks, esp. outside the major cities).
1907 High Relief Saints have been weak last few years. Even noted in David Winter's CoinWeek year-end "Hot & Not" column. Only the high-end...
I bought an MS70 Proof last year at FUN and I recall the premium to spot gold was maybe $100 which really wasn't that bad. I got my 1 ounce of...

The dealer doesn't care about the grade. You got a fair price.
Very nice coin. Obviously, you have one that isn't a "Wells Fargo Hoard" coins. Do you or anybody recall what the reaction was to such a large...

ILM, whatever happened with this coin ?
Must have missed this or forgot to respond when you posted IMrich, better late than never, right ? :D Why call the 1923-D rare, it's not. And...
Have they started posting on silver ? If so, what's the bullish rationale ?
