<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GoldFinger1969, post: 5585797, member: 73489&quot;]I see the price drops the last few years, yes.&nbsp; But we&#039;ve seen even bigger drops in non-PM U.S. coins (Barbers, Franklins, etc.).&nbsp; So on a relative basis, I wonder about the supposed excessive supply situation with High Relief Saints since their % drop mirrors lots of other American coins.</p><p><br /></p><p><i>Have you read or seen or heard anything other than anectdotal evidence of the 1907 HR&#039;s &quot;piling up&quot;?</i></p><p><br /></p><p>The UHR&#039;s are totally separate since there&#039;s basically &lt; 20 of the coins/patterns.</p><p><br /></p><p>12,367 is the best number I&#039;ve seen, as per Roger Burdette&#039;s book.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think if there ARE lots of 1907 HR Saints &quot;piling up&quot; it&#039;s been a slow, steady creep of older folks/estatese who held them for decades and then they or their heirs are just unloading them.</p><p><br /></p><p>And whereas coin collecting was a major activity of kids in the 1930&#039;s thru 1970&#039;s, you don&#039;t see the numbers or intensity today that you did back then (by most estimates).&nbsp; So folks who might have dreamed of getting such a coin when they were kids and knew they would have to wait until they grew up....well....today&#039;s kids don&#039;t even KNOW about such coins (I was a late-comer myself).</p><p><br /></p><p>An outlier....almost certainly undergraded since that is what an MS65 often sells at.</p><p><br /></p><p>I like flawed arguments that don&#039;t get rebuttals, helps me win lots of debates that way. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
