I finally got my gold doily! Been looking for a while and I havent had too much luck on GC lately, last week I lost a nice MS65 Morgan doily by like $50, (I was not happy), this week I had my eye on this MS62 CAC doily Saint, and surprisingly won it!!

I like your doily.
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
Great pick up. Congratulations

A strong coin for only being MS62.
Nice catch overall.
Congratulations. And don’t be unhappy about losing out on the Morgan “by like $50” unless you know that the winning bidder’s maximum bid was only like $50 higher than yours.

nice score, ya did good
Congratulations and as @MFeld has stated, unless the winning bid fell between whole bidding increments, you don't know if the winning bidder's max bid was "only" $50 more than yours or if it was $500 (or more) than that.

Nice coin.
Very nice, congrats.

Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
I was the underbidder. I only lost because I already have too many 1924 Saints (22} including 4 doilies 2 black NGC 4 NGC white label NGC 2.1 slab and CAC stickered PCGS MS-67 one. I did bid on it because it did look nice.
Nice collection oreville!! if you want to part with one of the NGC black, please let me know.

I have a few Saints in OGHs but not in the doilley or anything earlier than PCGS Gen 3.1
Almost turning into a hoarder there @oreville!
Congratulations, nice coin. I have this coin in watchlist, did not bid on it. Doily holder is what i miss in my collection but they usually carry big premium, more than rattler
Nice lustrous coin.
I did not even realize I had so many of the same date!
I was pursuing the vintage slabs!
Very nice Saint!
I have one doily, but it’s just a Ben Franklin half. The slab is virtually new, so I’m not complaining!
Definitely would like to have more doilies…
