The 1920 Saint pictured above is NOT an MS66. As far as I know the highest graded 1920 Saint by PCGS is a single MS65 coin- a former Eliasberg collection piece. Their are five or six NGC MS65's floating around (I think the NGC stated pop is 10 or so).

Unless you are purchasing for melt - or slightly above melt, I would stay far, far away from NTC, WCG, or any other basement slabber.

The 1879-S looks highly suspicious (e.g. fake) to me. The Saint might be authentic, but nowhere near a '66.

Glad to see they are both authentic! That Saint especially is a nice looking coin!

You dodged a big bullet with these, getting them both into righteous slabs. A win for the good guys.
