We’re back with another fresh round up of coin collecting news and articles from around the internet! To start, the latest US Mint numismatic product sales report, which shows a slow down for virtually everything. Also, 2011 Gold Buffalo sales, ATB Silver Bullion Coin production, classic commemorative coins, ancient coin collecting, Bernard von NotHaus trial, American Silver Eagle design, coin market evolution, CAC membership, investing in gold and silver, and notable auctions. On to the links…
With the US Mint’s product schedule somewhat sparse this month, collectors have been slowing their purchases. The latest US Mint sales report shows a decline across nearly every product type.
Meanwhile, sales of the 2011 Gold Buffalo bullion coins have begun at a much slower pace than the prior two years.
Previous articles have indicated that the mintages for the 2011 America the Beautiful Silver Bullion Coins would be “significantly higher” than for the 2010 coins. Dave Harper has an exact figure of 125,000 coins for the first release featuring Gettysburg National Military Park.
This Numismatic News article explains how classic commemorative coins have something to offer any numismatist, with a broad array of subject matter and diversity of design.

Next, a group of 14 ANACS graded Morgan Dollars, all in the small old holders.
