<p>[QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 3617693, member: 100459"]Many of you may remember that I had a 1904 Liberty Double Eagle that was graded UNC-Details-Obverse Scratches. I received a great many responses and judging from what your responses were, I did a lot of research. The 1907 St Gaudens has many different detail information that says: 1. The 1907 St. Gaudens Double Eagle is in great demand, regardless of the "Details" from NGC. The St Gaudens only has a mintage of 12,367 and my 1904 Liberty had a mintage of 6,256,699. I don't know how many of the 1904 Liberty coins lived past President Roosevelts inquisition of 1933. I have looked as closely as I can with a magnifying glass and don't see the seriousness of the scratches. I've tried to scan the coin and take a picture of the coin and I don't see the seriousness of the scratches as reported by NGC. I've got a friend of mine that I'm going to see if he can get a detailed picture of the coin so that my "friends" at Coin Talk might be able to show me which "scratches" NGC has referred to in their "grading". I know that without a quality photo of my coin, Coin Talk members cannot tell me. My friend is in medical school right now and his time is limited, but as soon as he does have time, I am sure he can make some quality pictures. I put "friends" in quotes, because I value you information and I know you have more experience than I do. I look forward to the day that you will be able to see the coin. I don't plan on selling it in my lifetime.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
