Message:: [QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 8188367, member: 73489"]JM, 3.7 MM seems alot and it's based on the sum total of all the annual years...and those yearly figures are meticulously documented by RWB (he's a stickler for not assuming anything).  So yes, his totals might be a bit lower than others. But that's still alot of Double Eagles even with the disproportionate number skewed to the 1920's commons and the 1908 NM. It works out to almost 70,000 on average per year.  Figure a few hundred die-hard Saint collectors....another 10,000 - 25,000 type investors...that means the rest on average taken up by the investment crowd. What I find amazing is that the methodology he employs and references towards the end of the book implies or leaves open the POSSIBILITY that a good portion of the coins could still be out there.[/QUOTE]
