<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 1874883, member: 5233&quot;]Thanks.&nbsp; PCGS actually graded the coin MS64...which is a nice grade IMHO.&nbsp; I love this coin </p><p><br /></p><p>My point to the OP is...these coins can look amazing in grades below MS65.&nbsp; 1 grade point might not seem like a lot, but it does make a big difference on the wallet.&nbsp; If you look at the PCGS price guide (which is overpriced and can&#039;t really be used for purchasing)...you will see how much these coins jump based on a single grade point.&nbsp; Again, I wouldn&#039;t use the guide for buying...but it gives you a relative idea on how a very small grade change can make a large price difference.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the PCGS numbers for a 1925 (common date) St. Gaudens Double Eagle:</p><p><br /></p><p>AU55: $1575</p><p>MS60: $1580</p><p>MS62: $1660</p><p>MS63: $1750</p><p>MS64: $1820</p><p>MS65: $2400</p><p>MS66: $3600</p><p>MS67: $32,500</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.pcgs.com/Prices/PriceGuideDetail.aspx?MS=1&amp;PR=1&amp;SP=1&amp;c=67&amp;title=St.+Gaudens+%2420" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pcgs.com/Prices/PriceGuideDetail.aspx?MS=1&amp;PR=1&amp;SP=1&amp;c=67&amp;title=St.+Gaudens+%2420" rel="nofollow">http://www.pcgs.com/Prices/PriceGuideDetail.aspx?MS=1&amp;PR=1&amp;SP=1&amp;c=67&amp;title=St. Gaudens $20</a></p><p><br /></p><p>My point is...up until MS64 the price doesn&#039;t change a whole lot (especially when you factor in the melt is currently $1288.03).&nbsp; Once you get above MS64...it starts to climb quickly.&nbsp; This is common for pre-33 gold.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
