<p>[QUOTE=&quot;900fine, post: 1256440, member: 6036&quot;]Friends, I&#039;ve wanted to do this for a very, very long time... since I was a kid.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve always thought the high relief Saint Gaudens double eagle was, beyond doubt, the single finest coin our fine nation has ever produced. I also thought I would never own one. Well, finally I do. (at least for now)</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve avoided Saints for a while. I guess I got a little jaded. They&#039;re everywhere, and even an MS64 can be had any day. I lost the sense of awe and wonder at how fabulous these coins truly are. As BB King once said &quot;The Thrill Is Gone&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, the thrill is back !</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m truly honored to hold this one in my hand. I tip my hat to those who made it possible - President Roosevelt, Augustus Saint Gaudens, and dozens of unsung heroes involved in the minting of these masterpieces.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
