[QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 6309570, member: 73489"]It IS a pricey coin, unfortunately. We've discussed why the price is so "high" considering there are thousands available. Clearly, many non-collectors hold them and also many people inherited them and may not even know what they have (or do, but it remains their only coin they own). [B] You can always look into the AUs for a cheaper coin.[/B] You can get an AU-58 for just over $10K and if you want to go down to AU-53 you can probably get one for $7,500. I'm saving up myself right now for a 58 and hope I can get it next year at FUN for just under $10K. First, always check the prices against COMPLETED sales at Ebay and also the Heritage and Great Collections archives. Second, no.... [B]for $2,500 you should be able to buy an MS-65 common Saint that will look very nice. [/B] If you are happy with MS-63 condition, you can probably buy one that is a bit rarer than a 1924, 1927, 1928, or 1923-D. [B][COLOR=#0000ff]Jim, I have a 1927, 1924, and bought an MS66 1923-D last year at FUN.
