Registry Set of $20 Saints

Guess I will have to do without the 1927-d. Anyone have an extra $1.5 million so I can buy one? Of course they may discover a bag of them someday. I think I will wait for that!

    Congrats on another fantastic set.

    I got to wondering about the 1927-D, If PCGS has 4 and NGC has 4, are there any others known out there? Raw?
    Has Anacs graded any?

    David Akers said in his book that he has seen 11 1927-d's which were all different so I would guess there are a few raw coins out there. There was a MS66 on display at the Long Beach show owned by Rare Coin Wholesalers and purchased from Rare Coin Alliance for $1.2 million. Asking price....$2 million!

    I know a guy who has two of them, both raw, that were left to him by his father. image

    The guy used to have three, but he consigned one to a Bowers & Merena auction a couple of years ago. It was submitted to PCGS, where it graded MS66. I think the coin went for $1.25 million (?). He swears the two he kept were the nicest ones. (A good collector friend of mine once saw the three of them together; he still hyperventilates a little whenever he re-tells me the story.)
    When in doubt, don't.

    There are two unslabbed in the Smithsonian collection...so that's 4 PCGS, 4 NGC, 2 your friend and the 2 I mentioned...that's 12! You sure your friend wasn't hallucinating "D"s??image

    No hallucinating... absolutely and positively three 1927-Ds.
    When in doubt, don't.
  • earlwbollingerearlwbollinger Posts: 1,304
    HUmm so there is a distinct possiblity that there are 13 of them.
    But if one out of the three was sold, then I think we know of 12 of them around in various hands or secure locations. There
    is a good possiblity that the 13th one is one of the first 12 then.
    That only leaves the possibility that maybe a few might pop up out of some grandfather's safe deposit boxes when he passes on.
    That should make for a interesting attraction and event at some future coin show one of these days when someone walks in off the street with one.

    The few coins that have already come out of this guy's safe deposit box have been mind-numbing.

    Me and my other buddy got to talking about Morgans, and Mr. Knowitall piped up and said he some of those too. So we asked what kind of dates, and he rattled off a couple. One was 1884-S.

    We said it was probably a nice AU, but he said it was a gorgeous BU. We just smiled, nodded at each other, and said "Sure you do."

    So at the next Long Beach show (this is about a year ago), he joined the Collectors Club and submitted four coins for grading, one of them the 1884-S. It came back MS65... and I'm not kidding.
    When in doubt, don't.

    Wow, its amazing whats out there tucked away.

    There are definitely some great coins out there we do not even know exist. Do not be so naive into thinking that the registry sets that you see are necessarily the BEST.

    Jpkinla: Cool sets!

    I think you are trying to tell us you like gold coins more than silver?image

    I suppose I am partial to gold but even more specifically 20th Century gold. I couldn't tell you very much about silver coinage but it is not because I do not like silver coinage. I chose to specialize and these three series were my focus.
