[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 4314095, member: 101855"]Strictly Mint State Classic Head gold coins are very scarce. Collectors simply could not afford to put away $2.50 or $5.00 just the sit. Besides that, you could save quantities of other coins for the same money ... 500 large cents for example. Most of the certified "Mint State" Classic Head gold coins are not really Mint State. They are, at best, nice AUs. Here is the best MS-61 graded piece I have seen. This one is semi P-L and very impressive in person. My photos tend to amplify every mark.
