Here’s my newest purchase that will fit into my US gold collection. It’s no 1924-1927-D, 1924-1927/S, or Saint from 1929 onward but hey.

    Are you kidding? That's a great-looking coin in an awesome package. A date you don't usually see, either.

    Sometimes, it’s better to be LUCKY than good. 🍀 🍺👍

    Congratulations!!! Beautiful trifecta coin; PCGS, OGH, and CAC, and perhaps the most beautiful coin design ever.

    I really like how it doesn’t have that ‘dipped in something to make it shiny again’ look. I am not going to resubmit for a regrade, I’m no crack out . I’d like to assemble a 1915-S and 1916-S piece to round out the WWI theme then go for some moonshots on my dream list.

    She came with a slight premium though I did try to come in between PCGS price guide and the Greysheet. The old green holder plus CAC and an original look sold me. I don’t like my gold to be messed with. Which Saints in the series do you have and which ones are you actively looking for?

    @Matt91....I have the series of modern Saints, up to 2009... and some older, slabbed Saints as well...I also have the mint error 1999W $10 & $5 coins made from unfinished proof dies. I also stack gold when the opportunity presents itself... I am not presently looking for anything special... though an HR keeps beckoning me....We shall see...Gold is my favorite coin metal... just something about the color and heft that attracts me...

    @ricko With gold below $1300 per oz it’s not a bad time to buy. I don’t think I’ll ever obtain the 1929-1932 Saints but they’re worth a shot.

    @Matt91.... I acquired a great deal of my gold back in the early to mid '90's to early '00's....those were good prices back then.... I still get some, and I doubt we will ever see those old prices again. Cheers, RickO

    @steveben I definitely plan on buying more Saints ie 1924-1926 and 1928-1932 if such coins are available and original. Some I’ll probably never own due to cost.

    @ricko Ah yes I should have bought more gold before it rose above $1000 per oz and more rarities but alas.

    very nice. I like the choice of a better date in a grade right before a big price jump. Plus you got it at the high end of the 64 grade. Well done.

    @Gazes Thank you! It might grade 65 by today’s standards but I’m not about to submit it, I like the holder and again it’s solid for the grade.

    If a person wishes a good cry, a glance at auction archives for that period will do it, especially on the 'Big Five' St. Gaudens! I still have a few common dates and three $276.00 1 oz 2001 gold eagles purchased from my local dealer 1n 2001,

    @batumi I would do quite well if I had acquired more back in the day save for taxes on the gains. Those were the days.
