Great Additions Moe I'm a sucker for the Silver 3cent series,and who wouldn't love those extensive die cracks on the 2 cent! I give it a thumbs up I LOVE the 3 Cent Silver Series. The Coin is so small, but significant! It has a nice design on it and I just have a thing for Trimes. I also like Barber Quarters+Halves and a variety of other Coins. Good Job on the 7070 Moe.  |

 That Two Cent Piece has a lot of character on its own, but it will have good company in the 7070!  |

That is a BEAUTIFUL No motto Saint Gaudens Moe! I have an 08 no motto too, yours is definitely nicer. I'd guess MS-63 due to the hits on the obverse devices, but it has better than 63 eye appeal imo with great luster and a warm color. Congrats!
Are you going to expand your gold set, or leave it as is?

The $3 definitely needs to be part of the set. I also like the modern commemoratives. I haven't decided if I'm going to leave it alone or add the coins it's missing (like you did). I like that idea a lot! BUT, right now, I got Capped Bust Half fever...  |

I know you like purchasing your coins raw, but PLEASE buy your $3 gold certified. The $3 gold is THE most highly counterfeited US gold, and I lost well over $500 by inadvertantly purchasing a fake one several years ago.  Your collection is really growing! |

PLEASE buy your $3 gold certified Yes, Sir! (Actually that is GREAT advice, particularly from someone who's been there! Thank you, my friend!)  Raw coins are usually cheaper, but when you factor in the loss due to even one counterfeit (Moe's getting angry!) it often doesn't pay. |

Moe, another thing you might consider is purchasing both "motto" and "no motto" gold coins. I am considering this, especially since I have 3 gold type set pages, with a lot of empty spaces. One of them I am using for modern proof only gold. Really, I am trying to beef up my gold collection as much as possible and trying to find ways to add more "types". Back to your Saint, I assume you purchased it raw? Was there a grade that you bought it as? How much did you pay if you don't mind me asking? Here is mine for comparison. I bought it thinking it was around a 61 or so(though it was graded 62) for $1,175. Comparing yours to mine, I actually wouldn't be surprised if yours was a 64. It is my favorite coin that you have posted so far.   t was a 61 for $1200. Edited by johnny54321

I got my 1908 St Gaudens from Harlan J Berk. It was not slabbed but those guys are pretty good at assessing what they sell so I felt fairly confident about the authenticity of this one. It was MS63 for $1350. I wanted a "no motto" for my first St Gaudens just because I liked the cleaner look on the reverse. I think it turned out ok. And I needed it for the 7070. And Johnny Countdown's collection keeps me inspired! |
