<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gallienus, post: 12685601, member: 42034&quot;]I just watched most of it.&nbsp; I did skip thru the log intro and a few bits where the difference in types 1-3 was explained.</p><p><br /></p><p>Very nice 1901 by the way.&nbsp; I used to have a bunch of Lib 20&#039;s but sold them years ago.&nbsp; I have a Saint in 64 but prefer the Libs.</p><p><br /></p><p>For the past couple of years, I&#039;ve been trying to buy one of these coins in 62-64 on major auction sites.&nbsp; None of the coins look like your 1901.&nbsp; Even coins in 64 holders look pretty beat-up with big gashes on the face and in the fields.</p><p><br /></p><p>I wonder if all the pretty coins have been bagged by dealers and what&#039;s available at auction are just the over-graded ones? Or are the numerical grades really slipping?&nbsp; Once I did find a pretty type-II 76-S? but it went for nearly the next grade level (a 64 I think).</p><p><br /></p><p>The video is interesting but keyed mostly for people who haven&#039;t collected before.&nbsp; It does have some interesting facts tho.&nbsp; More coin pix and less photos of you would also be helpful (sorry!).</p><p><br /></p><p>A side note.&nbsp; My aunt ran a Polish Kielbasa shop in New Jersey for many years.&nbsp; She just passed away 2 years ago. Once (before I was a collector) someone walked into her shop and offered to spend a $20 gold.&nbsp; Of course, she took it.</p><p><br /></p><p>A few years ago I got to see it and it was the prettiest 1898-P. A bit of friction but not a bag-mark on it.&nbsp; Her son now has it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
