<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GoldFinger1969, post: 6454571, member: 73489&quot;]Only if you pay me $100.....<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><b><i>Do you mean rare/scarce Liberty and Saint DE&#039;s.....or ANY Liberty or Saint DE&#039;s ?</i></b></p><p><br /></p><p><u>Because many coins trade at gold bullion prices and won&#039;t be affected by any hoards....and even scarce/rare ones, while theoretically POSSIBLE a few coins could be found (or even a bag) of 1930-S Saints or 1870-CC Liberty&#039;s....it&#039;s extremely doubtful.</u></p><p><br /></p><p>The 1933 Saint, with only 1 legally allowed to be sold (a few others out there) was going to be impacted by the Switt-Langbord coins (10 of them) but anybody who pays $7.6 MM for a coin can probalby withstand any drop caused by a hoard or new coins showing up. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I think we know of all the ships that went down with Liberty DEs....there could be some surprises for a few dates and mintmarks, but nothing that probably isn&#039;t in the price.</p><p><br /></p><p>Doug Winter and a few others HAVE said that you do have this drip-drip-drip of Liberty&#039;s (and Saints) coming from Europe with probably individual holders selling...either original holders or heirs or estates.&nbsp; Unless you have a super-rare coin with a very low population, again, it&#039;s unlikely to CRASH the market though it could depress it and/or prevent price gains.&nbsp;&nbsp; <b><span style="color: #0000ff">Depends on the number and their condition.</span></b></p><p>Good points....but back in 1962 information was via newspaper or once a night on your local news....hoards were virtually unknown.&nbsp; Also, reporting and information is so much better today that you wouldn&#039;t find millions of MSDs hiding in vaults.&nbsp; Not even gold coins in bank vaults.&nbsp; Maybe a few bags here or there in a small bank away from major urban areas in South or Central American countries...maybe a military or junta leader or family member who pilfered them....etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>But we haven&#039;t seen that yet, so to expect the proverbial &quot;other shoe to drop&quot; when it hasn&#039;t for decades (and 20 years of the internet) is probably unlikely.</p><p>But the temptation when you get a large batch is to ditch them all at once, either then or today.&nbsp; Nobody wants to dribble out coins over YEARS and have to hold them.&nbsp; They want their $$$ today. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>In 1962, the price did hold up for a while on the 1903-O and 1904-O before a few coins turned into dozens...then hundreds...and then folks realized where they were all coming from.</p><p><br /></p><p>If someone in Denver has a few 1927-D Saints -- let alone even a PARTIAL bag of them -- the market will know very quickly.&nbsp; When you have a population census of &lt; 25 coins and something shows up for sale every couple of years, you notice when 1 or 2 go off in a few weeks or months.</p><p>I&#039;m not into Lincoln cents, but like most coins, <i>doesn&#039;t it have condition rarity at say the MS-67 or 68 or even 69 level ?</i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
