Message:: [QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 7315664, member: 73489"]I knew that decades ago the major firms had buyers scouring the European banks for Liberty's and especially Saint-Gaudens DE's.  But that was a long time ago. I also understood that you could have individuals who never sold their coins and those could be sold later or given to heirs or an estate which would sell them and then they'd eventually make their way back to the U.S. But what I keep reading/seeing is references to "overseas supply" but without any details about the numbers (is it 100 coins a year or 10,000 -- or more ?)...where they are coming from....how long it is likely to last...and what specific year/mintmarks.  All I've seen is that it is apparently BOTH Saints and Liberty DEs. Just think it is strange -- even with the guarding of trade secrets -- that there hasn't been more articles or publicity about this "supply" and the detailes surrounding it (i.e., source, quantity, etc.).[/QUOTE]
