1950-70s...unc 60-61....choice unc 63-64....gem unc 65 n above....62s sort of floated around, if u were selling they were choice if u were buying they were uncs....lustre n eye appeal usually meant that dealers were inflating their grades by at least one....everything very subjective....blazing white was preferred in lots of cases especially morgans....toning hadnt really blew up yet....dipping very common....

@Marilyn GoldenQuite a bit of history.
The Wells Fargo Nevada Gold hoard is an amazing collection of 1908 No Motto $20 Saint-Gaudens Gold coins. The hoard was purchased for more than $10 million and was the largest price paid for a collection of coins at the time by a very wide margin. In outstanding condition, over 95% are graded Mint State 65 or better.
A collector with foresight and the necessary means acquired this collection of $20 Saint-Gaudens Gold coins in 1917 and promptly hid them for safekeeping. There they remained undisturbed for more than 50 years. Hidden away from the public, these stunning coins survived several significant events that meant the end of many other Saint-Gaudens coins, including Gold confiscation via executive order in 1933.
In the early 1970s, the coins were taken out, sorted, inventoried, and resealed. They did not see the light of day again until their inspection and sale in 1996. Although the buyer is known, the seller is not: the buyer signed a strict confidentiality agreement guarding the privacy of the previous owners. Not until they met again was the true number known: over 15,000 $20 Saint-Gaudens Gold coins. The meeting took place at a Wells Fargo bank in an undisclosed city in Nevada. The coins were held in a large walk-in vault, which formerly served as a Federal Reserve Bank where Silver dollars were stored in the 1960s and 1970s.

fairly accurate assessment....there's also the group that dont like cac because their coins didnt get cac'ed, of course they dont like tpgs because their coins didnt get the grades they wanted....as for ur number 2 group, same dilemma of 35 years ago...lots of super collections sitting raw in dansco n whitman albums, what to do cert or not to cert....things evolve, u either go with the evolution or get left behind....personal decisions...

obviously not a well informed reply to discussing how registered mail works n why its the most reliable means to ship coins.....registered mail is tracked n documented both internally by the usps n can be monitored externally by the sender at every transfer point on its route to destination....neither the post office box nor the zip code r negatives in shipping security... their r very few instances of thefts of registered mail, the thefts of money items thru the mail r usually currency in non insured non registered birthday cards or xmas cards since security on those types of shipping is less stringent n if u open enuf cards u prob will find some cash....internal security at usps is very tight with ccts, overhead monitoring, supervisory positions etc....obviously there r always some degree of theft n loss in all shipping systems, but these horror stories of loss of coins to n from tpgs is overblown...

because they were legally sold n not subject to confiscation.....the stamps were resold n again resold very soon after the initial purchase....there was never any official federal orders to actually confiscate them after leaving gov't control, the orders were to destroy all that were still in possession of the gov't...

the only gem in numismatics is gem bu....gemology is down the hall n two doors on the left....

well time will tell.....it is the only plate block of 4 so it has a higher premium than the other known blocks of 4.....plus there is an over abundance of cash sitting on the sidelines just looking for a place to go...

i also heard there is a savy possum in eastern kentucky trying to sell a NFT on a certain bearded lumberjack thats trying to eat him....

after serious consideration...n expenditure of a serious amount of research, i can seriously say that the ratios u requested would be X/Y n  X+1/Y+1, i seriously hope this helps....

i heard there is a savy guy in eastern kentucky that is going to sell a NFT of his pet possum for five figures in near future....soon as he can get possum to sign a release...
