Double Eagle Saint Gaudens Vs Double Eagle Liberty Head MS Gradings

St gaudens didn't circulate as commonly as Liberty head double Eagles. Many of the saints were stored in bags, while the Liberty ones circulated and were dinged up more likely over the years in bank bags. Also St gaudens only were around like 20 years, Liberty double Eagles were around nearly 60 or so years,

To attempt to collect a set of Liberty Head Double Eagles would be the work of a life time. I believe they are the largest set except maybe for Lincoln Penny, but there is no comparison since half the Lincolns may not be worth the copper it took to make them. Saints are equally hard to complete in set form since many from the 1920's were melted down and prices are so out of sight only Buffet or Bill Gates could afford them if he could find them.

Frog


How many Saints and/or Liberties were there in the individual bags. I understand with Morgans the bags were 1000 coins per bag. Bags must have been at least 60 lbs. I remember gold bars being sent through the USPS at one time in the post office I worked at the Tampa Airport Post Office. Bags came up missing and all heck broke loose.
The postal inspectors were accusing everyone.

Thanks everyone. I just thought it was odd that there seems to be a grading double standard for a Liberty Head double eagle in a MS61 grade to have more blemishes than a Saint Gaudens in a MS61 grade. I understand how the coins are damaged, marked, etc. I am just using MS61 as an example.
