Where as common date St Gaudens in MS60 may be $100-$200 more and will move in tandem with spot. Although the Saints have some Semi-Numismatic attributes (albeit very little) what does everyone think. Thanks in advance Report this Post to the Staff

cownas22 Pillar of the Community United States 1055 Posts	Posted 08/23/2009 10:46 am If you are looking for pure investment and liquidity I would go with the AGE. If you want a coin with history and collective purposes I would certainly go with a St. Gaudens. If you want something in between buy a certified high grade St. Gaudens. Report this Post to the Staff

markapsolon Valued Member United States 207 Posts	Posted 08/24/2009 11:30 pm In my opinion you are dealing with the New vs the Old. Saint Gaudens has more numismatic value than a current AGE's but in my opinion the AGE's obverse were what Saint Gaudens envisioned his double eagle to look like only with a higher relief (the ultra high relief coin the mint released this year). Even on a MS66 Saint Gaudens you can not get the detail you can out of the current AGE's but it is because Charles Barber cut it down to a low relief after SG died. Anyway I am getting off the topic.. I would go with a common Saint Gauden's double eagle before a current American Gold Eagle just because you will have more numismatic value (even if it is a common date) and it will keep its value better than an AGE. If you go with a SG just buy it certified (PCGS or NGC) or a good high AU from a trusted dealer. You might want to even take a look at the liberty heads too. (I just like those more.. so don't listen to me if you have your heart set on a SGDE) Report this Post to the Staff
