Although some rise due to resubmissions is expected, an increase of this magnitude, among only one date/mint, suggests thousands of new coins coming on the market from the same source. <b>With this in mind, it is posited that the total quantity of double eagles in the original group was at approximately 150,000 pieces, possibly more.&quot;</b></i></p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s probable that the 260,000 number is higher since it was referencing 2015 when the author was doing the research on Saint DEs.&nbsp; But use that for now.</p><p><br /></p><p><i>Can someone explain to me the chain of logic that ties the &quot;authentication events&quot; to a figure that is almost 8x higher than number of DEs believed to be found in the WF Hoard (19,900) ?</i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
