Great coin and pic. It looks much nicer than the MS62 1908 no motto that I posted last night ,so is it a 64 or what?

Wait until you hold a raw ultra high relief... that coin blows anything else out of the water!

As far as this one... it's an NGC MS64

This may qualify as nice looking AND rare...

If you think they're nice in pictures you should see them in person. The only coin that comes close in terms of beauty is the Peace dollar, but it falls short because it's silver. If Peace dollars were made in gold it would be a close call.

I couldn't decide if I prefer Arabic or Roman numerals on my Saints, so I picked this one.

Andy what is that? Leather?

Nice coin, Jeremy. But,.........................isn 't it a removed D mintmark from that 1927?

CarlWohlforth

I agree they are great looking coins! Both sides are really super. The coins are large and heavy and feel great to hold too.

saintguru

Is that a Saint in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?

MadMonk

Yep, and I just sold all of mine.

Andy very Interesting... I take it that this is a die trial piece?... can you tell us something about it?... metal- rarity- value?

saintguru

That Saint looks like it was "rolled"...look how far from the rim the stars are...it's probably as thin as a dime!

From http://uspatterns.com/:

"This is an undated trial piece struck, off-center, on an oversized brass planchet using the with motto reverse thus we list it in the Splasher section but Pollock chose not to. The piece is unique and was donated by Stacks to the Smithsonian."
