<p>[QUOTE="William Burnham, post: 3504440, member: 103249"]Thanks, Thomas. I'm going to take it to a local coin shop today to see what another set of expert eyes thinks after looking at the coin itself rather than just a photo of it. I may end up keeping it as bullion because the price I paid for it was only $63 over its melt value at that time (paid $1354; then melt value was $1291). When I compare the price I paid for it to the price of other coins of that year and mint mark on the web --- whether for sale or recently sold at auction --- I can't find anything that comes within $200 of what I paid. The fact is that I am not that picky about condition. I just like the No Motto design of the St Gaudens double eagle better than the ones after 1908. Also, the history behind them is interesting. I may just have to adjust my expectations to align better with the relative bargain prices I am getting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
