Re: Saint Gaudens vs Liberty Head Double Eagles
What has happened when the premiums were narrow in the past is that gold has tended to FALL in price. Conversely, when the premiums were large the gold price would RISE in price.

Re: Is this error real? I'm on the fence......I promise I didn't find it in a parking lot
My guess is that it’s a genuine coin over struck with a false die. The obverse detail is soft and incomplete in areas where it shouldn’t be. The reverse is the typical warping that you see with these 196X false die strikes. -
