I certainly haven't see many lower grade double eagles, in the sense of coins that are worn from circulation and use, until you get to the...
But I can't imagine that the value would plummet below melt. If nothing else, you could sell them for melt value to a jeweler for making jewelry...
Different question. Why would anyone sell a "cleaned" 1908 St-G double eagle for the melt value or only $10 over melt? Here is one:...
Are there any no motto ones other than 1907 and 1908. I'd get the 2009 copy of the high relief one if it didn't have the motto on it. Motto...

But then maybe I can talk my wife into letting me buy a real 1907 high relief St-Gaudens. Do things like that hold their value or are they up and...
Very interesting! Thanks so much for sending the pictures and informative explanations. Are bullion reproductions --- like the 2009 St-Gaudens...
It's a beauty. I had looked at some high relief ones on the web after I read all the history of the St Gaudens no motto double eagles. But...
Thanks for the considered response. I'm a retired law professor, so I can identify with your reference to a long formal preparation period, only...
Well, the local coin shop guy said that the values of double eagles, even ones in perfect shape, are way down except for a few rare dates. He...
Got another one. What is "reverse graffiti"? I don't see any graffiti on it in the traditional meaning of the term. Here's the listing:...
Got another one. What is "reverse grafitti"? Here's the listing:...
