Kanga, did you add any new Double Eagles since you created this thread ?
Unless buying mint state commons, you should be able to pay about bullion spot for low-60's common Double Eagles (Saints or Liberty's). Worse...
Was not aware of the coin, but was aware when Challenger blew up. :(
I'm not that savvy in searching these portals, how would I go about looking for old auction catalogs from the 1970's and 1980's at Newman and Bass...
AU-58 CAC is fine when you are spending Big $$$ and simply can't afford to go to the low-60's.
Yes, they leave the GSA holder alone and put a blue ribbon with the grade around it. If you put some close-up pics here, the Morgan experts can...
So BB21 is correct.....they take into account the GRADE NUMBER and DESIGNATION but not "+" or "*".
Which explains why older AU-58's (and even modern AU-58's) sometimes look better than modern (or older) low-60's MS coins.:D Insider, I realize...
This was one of the BEST posts on Morgans and grading/designations I have ever read. One of the best posts with great explanations and pics....
Well, obviously all things equal you want the additional CAC stickere, of course. I was just confused by your 1-word answer. Wasn't sure what...

Guys, don't even bother to debate if designations are part of the grade...NOBODY can agree on that. Reminds me of an episode of "The Simpsons"...
Agreed, GDJMSP. It seems clear that once grading moved from numismatists and the coin collecting community to more of the business of coins and...
PCGS recognizes Proofs for the years they made them like Sandblast or Matte. There are lots of Proof Saints for various years. It's just the...
How are you guys seeing cleaning just from pics ?
The 1907 EHR Saint would be considered a pattern, BB21, whereas the 1907 HR is considered a coin. Yes, I think all the 1907 EHR's are graded as...
Yeah, I've heard that Rattlers and OGH holders pre-1995 sell for premiums because the grading standard back then was "tougher" which would also...
Can someone give an example -- GDJMSP or Insider I'd love to hear YOUR opinions -- of how market grading overtook technical grading in the grading...
Here's one for $160...am I missing something, other than not being First Strike or Early Releases (who cares), it's identical to the ones being...
