The coin counter spit this out yesterday. It sounds *very* different when dropped (rather "dull" sounding). It weighs 11.0 grams. Edit:...
Very cool. Congrats! What percentage "off" do you estimate that to be?
Gold was a bit higher when he quoted me $1300/ea for the 8% over melt.
So a follow-up question: How much money am I throwing away if I buy one of these? I.e., if I ever go to sell it, assuming the price of gold is...
Shoot, I'd pursue it based on the guy's name alone... "Leopold The Hogmouth" @stevex6, yeah, they sure don't name 'em like that anymore! ;-)
Do you guys think any of these are better than the original coin I posted? These would be 8% over melt as opposed to 6% for that one.
Thank you for bringing up a point that I forgot to mention. Is it generally agreed that those are the "best struck" dates, regardless of grade?
Thanks. On a tangent... how would the list change if it were specifically for MS65? * Remove the 1923 * ... others deleted? * ... others added?

For example, a Gold Sovereign from the early 1900's being sold for melt is nothing special, right? I should be able to find people here with the...
Am I missing any? Are any incorrect? I am defining "common" by "which are the cheapest". This roughly translates into mintage numbers, but is...

Actual *melt* for a $20 Saint right now is $1,203.57. The seller is asking $1275, so technically it is 5.6% over spot (if my math is correct)....
I'm no expert but am also interested in these. I'll take a crack at it. Obv: G-4, Rev: Poor At the moment, I'm a purist and don't really believe...
What % below melt will a LCS or those "We Buy Gold" places pay?
Some will reply: "Well, I would only ever pay melt and no more!"... but is that ever really possible? I have the chance to buy a cleaned/polished...
Waiting on the experts, but in an attempt to educate myself, I'm guessing die crack?
I tried to use Google to get the Latin translatation of "Do not dip copper coins". It gave me "Non attingendi dipundio." Running that back...
Reported... TWICE. Once for the fake coin, once for his inexplicably-posted comments.
