What I find cool about it is how the original design fits in with his other designs. I never knew she was wearing a native headdress. Very interesting.
Ok, you're crazy. From the internet. . . "Each 1oz Silver Winged Liberty High Relief Commemorative is certified Gem Proof by NGC and is officially authorized by the National Park Foundation on behalf of the Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site." So, I assume this means there was something (possibly license fee) in it for the National Park Foundation generally or the Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site.
I'm not absolutely certain about this, but I think the EBay price at $165 is for the Gem Proof version rather than the PF70 Ultra Cam that I bought.
This one was a PF 70 that sold for 165. It was a low feedback seller and an auction, so I believe some money was left on the table. Likely 200+ is an average to target if listing on ebay (via buy-it-now). http://www.ebay.com/itm/2016-Saint-...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
Saint-Gaudens was a great artist and the coin is worth whatever you paid so long as you appreciate and enjoy it. Otherwise a painting by Leonardo is only worth the value of the canvas, paint, and stretcher. Anyone can buy an ounce of silver, but few can turn it into art.
I saw a brass St. Gaudens on vcoins. If I had an income I would have jumped on it. If I could have gotten that one up top I CERTAINLY would have!
That's a beauty fella don't know about the price but I agree with the others on it. Now, its not in my DNA to pay three dollars or even a dollar more if I can get it cheaper I will, just like gas I will drive 5 mile to save 5 cents on gas jus the way I was brought up.. Cheapskate u could say it don't bother me. Your correct medorama Don't go around pissed.. life to short great find sir..
Wow, the price really fell from a few years back if that price is anywhere near the final selling price.
