Yeah I know it’s a common date and not in the best condition…

But it’s still my first Double Eagle so I don’t care. ^_^

    Very nice for the grade and an old green PCGS slab to boot. B)

    I'd be super-excited!!

    Of all the 'common' dates, 1927 is likely my favorite.

    Looks GREAT in that OGH, too!!

    Isn't it wonderful to have that first gold coin? Watch out for the gold bug that comes with it.

    Congratulations on your double eagle!

    A 1927 double eagle was my first gold coin too, back in 1964:

    Absolutely positively do not spend money on the grading game with a 62 1927 Saint.

    No difference in value between a 2 & a 3 for that date and it could be knocked down to a 58. And it's stable in that 30yr old holder. And you'll save $50+.

    Have a nice day

    Oh I have other gold coins like the Indian $2.50 and $10.

    This is just my first $20 gold piece.

    It’s almost as big as my 1 oz AGEs!

    It's actually bigger than your AGE.

    Almost ;).

    An AGE has 1 oz gold + 1/10th oz of copper.

    A St. Gaudens has 0.9675 oz gold and just slightly under 1/10th oz copper.

  • Downtown1974Downtown1974 Posts: 6,779 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Not sure if Perry meant size or content, but he’s correct in size.
    A Saint is 34mm in diameter while the AGE is just over 32mm.

    Yes. An AGE is heavier than a Saint but your 1927 Saint is bigger since it's 34.00 mm in diameter while the AGE is smaller since it's 32.70 mm in diameter.

    PCGS graded $20 Saints have been a good investment for me over the last few years, may you do as well!

    Oh I bought it already in the holder I didn’t pay for it to be graded and have no intentions to resubmit it.

    I like the holder it is in and I feel that the 62 grade is correct and it shouldn’t be any higher.

    Thanks! Does that include common dates too?

    Is it the St Gaudens that have been a good investments or the gold in them?

    It’s crazy to think just 20 years ago gold was only like $430/oz O_o

  • rickoricko Posts: 98,724 ✭✭✭✭✭

    @MKUltra24.... Yes... I purchased a lot of gold back then... Your acquisition is very nice. Cheers, RickO

    I wish I would have kept my 1st saint.
    It was a 1915-S raw slider back in 2009
    I wanted the UHR that came out that year but it was out of my price range.
    Things sure have changed since then :)

  • gumby1234gumby1234 Posts: 5,572 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Nice. My first double eagle was a 1908 No Motto bought and sold many many years ago. They cost 4 times as much now.
