<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GoldFinger1969, post: 6416746, member: 73489&quot;]Really interesting...<i>did dealers tell you that they had acquired the coins from overseas ?</i>&nbsp; Maybe the supply/demand balance for some of the coins and grades was so well-balanced that just a few coins or 5-20 could make a big difference in pricing and dealer quantities.</p><p><br /></p><p>Prices for Liberty DE&#039;s -- esp. Carson City&#039;s -- were strong from like 2010-2016 or so.&nbsp; But then weak gold prices and increased supply seemed to have dropped pricing.</p><p><br /></p><p>Prices seem to have held up better at the lower grades, where available.&nbsp; Doug Winter&#039;s CoinWeek columns mention pricing from time-to-time.</p><p>That&#039;s the grade you have to accept, sometimes there aren&#039;t better coins out there OR they are just too expensive OR they have been cleaned or overgraded.&nbsp; I&#039;m not an expert on Liberty&#039;s relative to Saints (if I can be considered one there <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ) but it seems that Liberty DE grading and quality has been subject to more &quot;games&quot; than the SG series.</p><p><br /></p><p>Winters was very insistent that, on average, the &quot;new&quot; coins coming from Europe look much better than the domestics.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
