Yup, thanks ! I got the Pop Report from before the Wells hoard hit. There were zero 68's.....3 MS-67's.....and just under 1,300 MS-66's (this...
Bob, FYI.....there are lots of other threads more relevant to your inquiry than a 7-year old thread on "Coin Shows." :D Not that I am against...
I like the Modern NGC's over the Modern PCGSs.
Are you saying the coin above has those defects ? I can't tell from the photo, it won't zoom high enough on my PC. For sure.....
Who is/was H.A. Dallas ?
There were no PCGS-graded 68's the year before the Wells Fargo coins hit the market. Maybe NGC had a few. After the Wells hoard hit, it was over...
Jeff, I believe the 1908 NM is the only one that is that "affordable" because of the Wells Fargo Hoard swelling the ranks of 66's, 67's, and 68'a.
Thanks GD.....:cigar: I have that book on my WishList....I am not sure what's in it on Liberty DE's and Saint-Gaudens DE's, but I figured the...

The price of gold was $1,150 to $1,400 in 2010. Seems like you got a pretty decent price.
My Double Eagle Red Book (by Bowers) has estimated certification numbers for each Saint by grade condition. Below it is Bower's estimate of the...
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...
Yup, same thing with the proofs made for Saints as they kept switching between Sandblast and Matte during the same time period. Interesting,...
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...
