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 ?

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...
Anybody buying the 1933 probably can afford to take the hit if those Fort Knox 1933's ever hit the market. I'll be sure to give them advance...
Right, because the government has 11 other 1933's that theoretically could hit the market. It's certainly a risk -- but it's been over 15 years...
What changed other than the date ?
