<p>[QUOTE="John King, post: 2445094, member: 78398"]I have seen those coins selling on Ebay. I have seen them selling at Heritage Auctions. I read in Coins Magazine where one of the editors sold a 1908-S Saint in VF condition for $1900 I think. This coin has mintage of 22,000. He lost money on it. He sold a number of Saints, lost on more than one and got a profit on one of the really scarce ones in early 1920's mintage that was one where most of them had been melted down. I am also using Red Book as a rough guide. I think I could go to ebay right now and find one of these coins I mentioned selling for much less than you might think. I am talking about the early scarce Saints and not the ones from late 1920's and 30's that were melted down. I would say the same thing about some of the Liberty Head $20 gold coins that have very low mintage and are not valued that much more than common ones. They do exist. I refer you to December issue of Coins and to article by Mike Thorne PH.D. named "Basics and Beyong: Sale Results". Now if you have to have the coins in MS condition that is another issue.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
