Welcome to Coin Update!
We’re back to bring you another round up of coin collecting new and articles from around the internet!

Also, bold predictions for 2011, rare 25 cent note found in book, coins graded Proof 70, crackdown on bogus September 11 “coins,” Miles Standish, strength at the top of the rare coin market, “weird” coins, and notable auctions. On to the links…
