Up to like 1970 those Double Eagles could be bought at every money exchange agent for like 30% over melt for uncirculated coins
Now those Double Eagles are no longer available at exchange agents
So I regret selling some around 1980
I guess it is the scarcity of uncirculated grade that makes me realise they are a lot more valuable then the goldprice
Also I got intrested in history and learned to grade coins american style
I regret the necessity that made me sell
