<< <i>Will the Red Sox meet SAINT Louis in the World Series this year? >>
you're going to be "emoticoned"
Thank you ever so much for your consideration and thoughtful answer to my hideously composed question.
I remain.
XXXXXXOOOOXXXXX
What say ye?
Do you anticipate any "new high grade hoards of Saints" will be found or recovered in the next 10 years?
That stems from when I was a kid. I had all the Whitman books and was very active driving my local bank crazy working a $20 bill into rolls 3 times in a day. I knew the Red Book inside and out, yet when I came to the "St. Gaudens" $20 I thought, what a strange name, what an amazing looking coin, and WHAT prices!! I never saw one for many years and fell in love immedistely.
I owned 49 at one point....and was tapped out. The remaining coins in MS64 were a minimum of $150K and up, each, so that was it. Instead I decided that I'd first get a little liquidity so I sold my common dates. Then I had the opportunity to buy a few MONSTER coins and I decided that parting with medium rarities would be a good way to get the big guns I saw. I will have 18 coins after the FUN sale. All spectacular GEMS. I'm selling some great stuff **plug**. My 1924-D, 1925-D/S MS64's, 1926-S MS64, an unbelievable 1913 M64 that was so nice I bought it even though I have a MS65. So the number is 19 yet they are worth more that the 49 were.
Look for the White Sox next year.

dennis...definately an MS coin is my preference. If money wasn't a major issue I'd say a generic MS65...but a nice 63 would be nice also. If you want a "pocket piece" (which I would never carry in my pocket) then just find a raw circulated coin. They feel amazing in hand!
richard...I hope the AGE's make people desire the "real thing"...I can't say. As for any hoardes...I think 99% of them are cashed in. The Europeans are much more numismatically aware than we are and they sold many of the remaining coins in the 90's. If you look back, you'll see that the last gold liquidation just prior to the gold market bottoming out was by France, GB and Switzerland! That was probably the "last gasp". Amazing how the biggest gold-hounds always put the bottom in the market.
Your avatar is kind of wussy-ish.
Marty...where WERE you? I gave away a GEM Saint like 3 months ago. CoinMickey won!
<< <i>I'd like to buy one Saint and my price range is 5-14K. What date and grade would you recommend and also which dealer(s)? >>
That's some range! I'd get maximm exposure because I believe that the better the coin, the more resilient it will be to market fluctuations.
I love the 1913 in MS64 (~$7500-9500 depending on quality)...IF you can find a nice on.(I will not repeat that I know of one that's coming up.
I would suggest you look at the upcoming FUN sale. There is an amazing selection of stuff, and either see them yourself or have a dealer look at them for you. I love working with Todd Imhoff at Heritage...Mike Printz has a great eye...ReverendFeldilini can be a putz but he knows good coins.

Yeah...I think a lot of the Wells Fargo coins were graded correctly. There are so many of them! I also have seen many that are over-grade...and for the life of me I do not see how the re-tooled 1908 dies could produce near as many MS67/68/69 coins! They are flat and rather lifeless, in my opinion. Charles Barber was a dick!

Great question!!

No...I believe you were the best sap. Like real maple syrup from Vermont.

<< <i>How much did you pay for the cheapest coin in your registry set? >>
When it was all 49 coins...~$2000 for a MS66 common.
With what I have now? $14.6K for my 1915 that's worth $30K now.

I feel good...and I also feel a close, very warm bond to all that are humoring me in this, my early-senile 52nd year.

Yes...I plan on chopping off my two typing fingers.
<< <i>hee hee...
LOL you and Russ are on a roll lately.
Since it's "Ask Jay" hour, I've always wondered if you affliction for St. Gaudens extended outside of coins. For instance, are you interested in or own any of his artwork, sketches, stamps, postcards, statues, medals, etc.
Just a few more to go!

A) "You and RUSS??"
Do you own an Omega?
What are those worth??
2. Did your wife ever stop beating you (for buying all those Saints)?
3. Do you really think that Legend/Laura, who sells Saints--to keep this on-topic, has been less obnoxious and insolent than I have been in this thread?
