Well, Well...Lookie at what's coming up at FUN!!! 1927-D Saint! Should I snipe it??

saintguru

This is a VERY interesting coin. It has a hit right across the breast, yet the surfaces are simply amazing. I guess one could make the case that this is an extreme GEM-preserved coin that had one mishap. It certainly has the qualities of a coin that was taken right from the dies. I know this coin and it's history. It's interesting...

Hummmm. Wonder who the owner of this will be?

You going to sell your soul and everything else to buy this one?

BillJones

It won't be me. That is one is WAY out of my league, if I had that kind of money to spend, I'd be looking for a small eagle $5 or $10 gold piece.

It's interesting to note that I have a 1907 St. Gaudens $20 gold in a PCGS MS-65 holder that has blazing luster but a hit on the reverse. Seeing this piece with mark on the obverse in an obvious place makes me a bit more comfortable with my coin.

That paid for my last coin.

Can I sell my essence?

Souls just ain't worth what they used to.

Great Saint, SaintGuru! I was wondering when you would be commenting on it!

Bottle it and sell it as a chemical weapon

That's a newer holder. Was the coin always a 66?

Probably a reholder or regrade attempt.

Yeah, it has an old cert number. The gash probably keeps it out of a 67 holder, but the coin is pristine otherwise.

What a simple slab label. 1927-D, $20, MS66.
BUT----------------

That is the most mouth-watering Saint I have ever seen a pic of. KILLER to the 10th power!!! Oh, My, God...

I really doubt that it ever was an MS-65. The luster is just too strong despite the mark on the bust. But the mark on the bust precludes an MS-67 IMO UNLESS the grading stardards get lowered.

I hear tell it was an NGC MS65. But how can that be since we all know how loose NGC grades....

That's right, the PCGS coin IS always better.

"UNLESS" is a strange way of writing "UNTIL."

Anyone want to hazard a guess what the winning bid will be?

This coin..............was an .....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................NGC65.

One of the smartest sharpest dealers bought this and saw something that was quite obvious to him. He was right. I guess the overall GEMMY state of the coin was so great that the hit was just not a major factor. No I've seen this coin in hand. The lustre in the picture is a little flashier than in hand, but it is a spectacular coin! Not quite as nice as the MORSE 67, but this will cost $2 million+, IMO.

I'm looking fi=or stuff to but so I can scoop it. I'm gonna use Auction Sniper.

SNIPE IT? LOL. That cannot be sniped. It will go to the floor and bid properly. (I realize it was in jest.) Best of luck in getting it, Jay. Unless I go temporarily (or permanently) insane, I won't engage you in that bidding war.

As this 1927-D was part of the McDougal collection when it was consigned to a Jan. 2006 auction, I refer to it as the McDougal 1927-D. Kevin Lipton was the successful bidder in 2006 and he consigned it to the Jan. 2007 Platinum Night 1 event, in which it did not sell. Between Jan. 2006 and Jan. 2007, its certified grade increased.

Much information regarding 1927-D Saints may be found in a recent article of mine in Numismatic News weekly.

So this coin started out as a NGC MS65 then went to a PCGS MS66 and is now a PCGS MS67. Hope the current owner is enjoying the Emperor's New Clothes.
