<p>[QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 3598219, member: 100459"]I see a "gouge" like this and I get a little miffed at NGC. I bought a raw 1904 Liberty Head $20 double eagle for $1,300 about 6-7 years ago and I sent it in and I got a "UNC Details - Obverse scratched." It didn't have the color the Morgan does, but I thought it was a beautiful coin. It was the first gold coin that I bought. I got it from a dealer that he had just bought. He was going to a show and he took that one and an 1895 Liberty Head which I got back with a MS-61. I got that one for about $700. I did get a MMIX Ultra High Relief gold coin that I got for $1,300. It had been graded by PCGS at MS-68. I'm not an educated collector, or at least as much as I want to be, but I want to get a really good Saint-Gaudens. Any recommendations where to look? (Pre-1933, by the way, when the gold had to be turned in, did the owner get paid anything, and if so, how much?)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
