We’re back to bring you another fresh round up of coin collecting news and articles from around the internet! First, the upcoming release of the 24 karat First Spouse Gold Coins featuring Lucy Hayes. Also, a slow down in sales for the majority of the US Mint’s numismatic gold products, history of the Indian Head Cent, Pikes Peak Collection, ANA exhibit awards, significant modern rarities, gold sellers, Coinapedia, Canadian Silver Maple Leaf coins break record, and notable auctions. On to the links…
Tomorrow, the Lucy Hayes First Spouse Gold Coins will go on sale at the US Mint. A lot has changed for the series since it was launched back in 2007.
The latest US Mint numismatic sales report shows dramatically slower sales for nearly all gold products. Contributing factors included gold market price volatility, sales suspensions, and price increases for commemoratives.
An interesting article on the Indian Head Cent, including the popular story behind the design, Charles Barber’s denial, and other points of interest during the half century duration of the series.
A collection of gold issues from around the world known as the Pikes Peak Collection will be featured in Heritage’s Long Beach world and ancient coin auction.
The ANA presented 61 competitive exhibit awards at the World’s Fair of Money.
An artwork called Currency, which seems to be basically a stack of $20,000 in cash, sold at auction for $21,350.
Following the recent sale of the 1975 “No S” Proof Roosevelt Dime for $349,600, here is a list of other significant modern rarities and possible prices.
An article from Southwest Florida that reports people visiting jewelers and pawn shops to sell gold are “still streaming in the door.”
Doug Winter discusses his Coinapedia project, which includes images and descriptions of gold coins produced between 1795 and 1933.
The Royal Canadian Mint sold a record 17,879,270 one ounce silver bullion coins during 2010. The total represents a 74% increase from the previous year.
And now for some notable auctions. First, a 1982-P Washington Quarter struck on a nickel planchet. The mint error is authenticated by PCGS and graded MS66.
Next, a baker’s dozen of Morgan Dollars graded NGC MS 64. The majority of the coins are in the thick, older style NGC holders.
That’s it for the update. Have a great evening!
