    And yowzers!

    it came back MS-64!!!! :eek:

    When i saw it in the coin-show tray i swear it "talked" to me... i guess it was not lying :)

    I paid $515 for it, the grade paid for its certification :eek:

    I do not have a camera with me, I will take a picture tonight ;)

    This really made my day, I looked at a bunch of saints that day ( it was my goal to purchase one at the show ) and this one talked to me, it looked so pretty ;)

    the dealer i submitted it to thought it would come back AU, and told me not to get my hopes up...

    I went in today and he said "you are going to be a happy man!" and boy was he right!

    no, got in a coin show. the dealer was really nice, he showed me a bunch of saints adn this one stood out to me, I asked him what it would grade, he took a glance at it and said MS-63 or 64...

    he still only charged me $515 for it.

    wow... I am absolutly going to go back to him for my gold ;) a real stand-up guy!

    ( i will look up his info in my records and post it, i think he deserves a plug! )

    Truly a nice coin and objectively deserving of the grade.

    Pretty, indeed.

    I wish i could have more... they are just so damned expensive!

    back to world gold ;)

    oh, it looks like on ebay PCGS MS-64 saints are a strong $700.00, so i guess i made myself 150 bucks in the deal ;)

    Now that's a nice Saint!

    (You've just bagged yourself $150 to 'boot. That figure just comes back to haunt me... since i'm thinking of purchasing a coin exactly $150 over book price, but it's a nice coin and like your's talked to you, mine talking to me). :D
