<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rld14, post: 1106683, member: 16133&quot;]Doug summed it up quite well.&nbsp; Also, you have to bear some things in mind with pricier gold coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>First, Legend tends to carry coins that are generally at the very top of their assigned grades.&nbsp; I know a dealer who had about 50 Saints graded, a small hoard of one slightly better date.&nbsp; If memory serves they were 23s, a coin that does take a jump out of the generic pool in 65 and if I recall he made about 10 or 12 65s from the hoard.&nbsp; I remember being told that he showed the 65s to Legend and only one of them worked for Legend.&nbsp; I also remember that Legend paid way over sheet for the one coin, it just missed 66 and was gorgeous.</p><p><br /></p><p>Legend tends to sell PQ coins, and Legend charges a lot for coins because they pay a lot for their coins, if memory serves the coin got a CAC green sticker, and I think at the time bid was $6,000, Legend paid $7500 for it and put it on their website for $8300-8500 or thereabouts.&nbsp; Meanwhile you could buy an average one for $6500-7k.&nbsp; But that&#039;s a coin that probably bids around $1800 in 64, $6,000 in 65 and $30,000 in 66.</p><p><br /></p><p>Legend also only retails CACd coins, and CAC really is tough on gold coins, namely because so many of them have been doctored.&nbsp; PCGS is finally starting to get an edge on the doctors but for years a handful of people have been making a very good living by doctoring valuable gold coins and getting them in holders.&nbsp; I can assure you that realizing a Saint that you own has been puttied and is starting to turn isn&#039;t a very good feeling, you won&#039;t have that worry buying from Legend.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
