[QUOTE="St Gaudens collector, post: 5135411, member: 96473"]Saints are the 2nd most popular pre-33 gold coin to collect after 2 1/2 Indians. Check out the number of registry sets at PCGS and compare. [URL]https://www.pcgs.com/setregistry/u-s-coins/gold/18[/URL] The original TPG problem was the distribution of saints. There were, for example 4000 MS64 - 100 MS65 & maybe 10 MS66 The 66's were moon money & the 65's were in tight hands so that left the 64's That meant the average collector had to search through hundreds of them at a show that were by today's standard anywhere from 64-C to just missing 66. They pulled the best 64's up to 65 and promoted the others. They needed to because people were getting frustrated. Anyway...JA had a complete meltdown.... (This is also where the rattler/OGH insanity started but that is another story)[/QUOTE]
