Heavy Hitters Corner: Real big moves UP in trophy Saints the last few months.
The MS-69 deemed "The Best One" from the 1908 No Motto Wells Hoard went for just under $287,000 (w/bp); the same coin sold for $95,000 back in 2005.
A 1927-D was sold for $4.4 MM. This was the Dallas Bank-Simpson 1927-D (Simpson has another rated 67) which is believed to be the 3rd best. Our friend EC has an MS-66+CAC.
A 1924-S sold for $930,000...remember, at one point decades ago this was believed to be the rarest of the Saint series.
EC, Half Dome, and a few others are dragging up all the trophy Saints.
