<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1865King, post: 6454505, member: 103207&quot;]I didn&#039;t read every post so if I repeat some ones info forgive me.&nbsp; Personally, I wouldn&#039;t pay any big money for a liberty head double eagle or a saint.&nbsp; Between the coins being pulled up off the ocean floor and the ones hiding in European vaults there is a good chance that some coins being thought as super rare could show up in large quantiles.&nbsp; The same can be said about some coins though to be rare in the past that show up in the market often.&nbsp; The 1904-O Morgan is a great example.&nbsp; The difference today compared to the past is the internet.&nbsp; In the past if a hoard was found it could have been liquidated quietly over a long period of time.&nbsp; However, today if a hoard is found it wouldn&#039;t take long before everyone knows about it.&nbsp; Can you imagine if a bag of 1895 Morgan dollars was found in a bank vault 50 years ago.&nbsp; The person that found it could slowly sell them at an extreme profit.&nbsp; However, if a bag was found last month it would be all over the internet with in a month.&nbsp; They would still be highly liquid and sell for a high price but, not at the same prices you could ask if it wasn&#039;t known that a $1,000.00 bag showed up.&nbsp; I know of many coins that are still considered rare but really aren&#039;t.&nbsp; The 1909-S VDB Lincoln cent is a prime example of a coin considered rare that&#039;s really not.&nbsp; Many were pulled from circulation and hoarded right after they were minted.&nbsp; This caused the coin to become scarce early on but, I have no problem finding one today.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
