Granted, there were coin collectors back then in the 1920's and 1930's -- but not that many. Certainly, not collecting Saints ($20 was a TON of...
Done ! :D Bought the coin. Excited -- and sick -- at the same time. Like when you take an important test and think you did well...and dreaded...
Dealer says I can return the coin if not happy, so I am leaning to buying. Most expensive non-gold coin I've ever bought so a bit nervous about...
I'm new here, but yes, even I picked up on that. Good points, JPC. Yes, for sure. I think our efforts would be best served if we eliminated...
It's weird that it seems to protrude from around the eagles top torso, as if someone drew an outline. But I'll take your word that it's toning....

I'm an idiot...never thought about that....thanks !!:D

Great info, JPC, thanks !:cigar: Wonder why both gave info on how to grade an MS-65 and referenced MS-67 instead of MS-66 instead......... I...
Guys, I posted most of my inventory on Page 2 of this thread.
Good catch, Lehigh...the coin I referenced apparently IS a proof. I wonder if that PCGS statement applies to the Wells Fargo Hoard ?...
Does the ANA Book apply these general rules to most of the major U.S. coins, i.e., Saints and Morgans ??? That might really help me alot more...
