[QUOTE="mikenoodle, post: 987829, member: 307"]no scam, Chris, just a very good eye. I think many times people see the coins sold on tv which are mostly hyped as condition rarities and associate the hype and hyperbole spouted my those hucksters with anyone who collects them. Just another place where salesmen give something a bad name by their over-zealous pitches and "walking the factual line" in order to make their products seem like a good buy. I agree with Doug, these mintages are not low. I would also assert that in the past when something had a very low mintage that finding them in any condition was difficult and finding some in high grade was nearly impossible. Nearly the entire mintage of the satins is high grade and therefore not even scarce in a high grade and therefore (due to the mintages) quite common. As with many things, some people just don't understand and they never really will. Condition rarity is the fact that a coin is difficult to find in that condition, NOT the fact that it is difficult to find one in a higher grade.[/QUOTE]
