<p>[QUOTE="princeofwaldo, post: 26717324, member: 24091"]Pity the collector who ponied up all the extra dough to add common date Saints to the collection in the "much more sought after grade of MS64" instead of the lowly grade of MS63. Now both are trading back of melt, with about a $15 premium on the near-gem MS64. Makes me grateful I collect world gold coins, where the populations are so much smaller. There's been plenty of premium compression on much of the world gold out there too, but at least it's scarce enough to be considered collectable. Not so with much of the US gold material out there, even many of the better dates are no better than bullion, it's like the gold rally completely destroyed the collectability of these coins, though to be sure the Fairmont Collection helped quite a lot too in the years leading up to the price spike.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
