FUN Show Characterizes Strength Monday, January 14, 2008 | Printer Friendly The FUN Convention could very well have been the best coin show ever. If not, it certainly was the best FUN Show ever. The sales volume runs into the hundreds of millions of dollars which includes the major auctions and dealer-to-dealer sales prior to the show. It was phenomenal from start to finish.   The metals continue to make new records with Gold rushing through the $900 mark this morning. Platinum is over $1560. There is strong evidence that profits from the metals are going into the rare coin market.   See this E-News and past issues in E-News Archive: http://www.numismedia.com/market/enews/archive.shtml   -What's Hot?
