Maybe this can sum all this up (or maybe not :D). We have 3 coins from WITHIN a bag (let's say Saints). All went straight from the Mint...
I don't disagree with anything you said here, Pick....the question is....is it wrong ? Is "wear" from a bag -- defined as different than light...
No, I get it -- but didn't you post a few back that bag marks ARE wear ???? I do acknowledge that for a coin that has got DOZENS of bag marks...
I think the silly ideas are in their head ! :D You know what ? The markets will eventually tell us....if/when silver moves up nicely, we'll have...
I know we've done this dance before...:D....but if a coin legitimately ONLY has bag marks, if that is the only "wear" that the coin has, it...
No, I get it....I think some people buying high and paying up for the 70's think that the price will track bullion -- which it most certainly will...
I'm not sure if people are buying these for INVESTMENT or because they like the coins, which show off great designs in the 5-oz. size. I've...

You're asking us what WE like based on what we buy for ourselves. What do YOU currently own and buy ?
For $800 each, they can probably get some common MSDs with a CAC, right ? Or $800 might buy them an MSD 1-step up from common, huh ?
Not a bad choice....I might personally go for a larger denomination (more gold) coin. If whoever could spring for a few hundred more, I'd go for...
Thanks Insider....there's so much good info in this thread I can get confused when a question got definitively answered as I advance forward. :D
Thanks for the great response Publius (and all of you veteran experts). One thing that us non-experts have to get used to....most of us grew up...
Is it the blurry blotch....or is the very fine, thin lines ??
Thanks for chiming in Shanna....question....how important would overwhelming support from your normal vendors/dealers/displayers be in...
Someone mentioned here that the last sale was 1980 or 1981.
There may be good or bad reasons for submitting or NOT submitting your coins to a TPG....but I think the coins will be graded pretty fairly. You...
