Metals Higher, Long Beach Nears Monday, September 17, 2007 | Printer Friendly Gold and Silver are markedly higher this morning and rightly so. Concerns with the economy continue to cause investors to rethink venues for their money. This may prove even more beneficial for the coin business.   The Long Beach Expo begins next Wednesday for dealers and is open to collectors on Thursday. A large crowd is expected and dealers anticipate above average sales. There are major auctions prior to the show including the official show auction the Heritage Signature Sale.   The Wholesale Dealer Price Guide exhibits a large round of increases especially in the modern bullion coins. Even though dealers increased their prices for many of these high grade specimens, it seems like collectors are participating less in this market and shifting back toward earlier rare coinage.   See this E-News and past issues in E-News Archive: http://www.numismedia.com/market/enews/archive.shtml   -What's Hot?
