<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gallienus, post: 3658191, member: 42034&quot;]I&#039;ve been looking to expand my collection of US double eagles particularly in the type I and type II Liberties.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve had a horrible time finding any decent Lib 20&#039;s in 63 grade that weren&#039;t absolutely beat up or 1904&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>It also appears that some dates have prettier examples in 63 grade than others.&nbsp; Looking at the 1873&#039;s on Heritage I&#039;ve seen some nice 63+ coins. There is also an extreme price gradient between 63 and 64 on this piece.&nbsp; Pop for HA is 94 ms-63&#039;s sold and only 8 64&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>Normally I collect Latin American (early Independent Nations era: 1810-1860 &amp; Ancients but would like a few US types.</p><p><br /></p><p>But actually the reason why I followed this topic is that some time ago I lived in Brazil for 3 years. I&#039;m still a member of their coin collecting society.&nbsp; Several times I&#039;ve talked to Brazilians I met at the gym or some place and they always tell me &quot;yeah, my father collected coins a long time ago but when he passed away I gave them all away as that hobby is dead&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>My experience is that the Brazilian numismatic scene is that it has always been a small fraction of the US one (1/20th, 1/100th the size ??) but many of those people are very serious &amp; knowledgable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
