Interesting coin models OST 0

[RWB]

This thread on the "Other Side of the Tracks" is one of the best ones in several months (in addition to the 1922-D cent threads). It deals with auctions of a couple of design models of favorite coins. (The only error in the thread is that the Buffalo nickel item is a bronze cast, not a filled galvano. Those were not generally used until the mid-1920s.)

Maybe, but aside from their 1933 DE thread where you and Roy Langbord chimed in, they don't have anything approaching the RWB Saints Book Thread !! 

They have some good graders there but even there the grading thread didn't offer a definitive answer about wear/rub/friction.

The Saint-Gaudens DE thread you started is, as far as I know, unique on message boards. It is filled with excellent, perceptive questions and ought to be read by anyone who wants to collect the series.
