Sight-Seen Market Maintains Strength Monday, October 8, 2007 | Printer Friendly While Gold fluctuates between $730 and $740, the overall market remains steady for properly graded rare coins. Both Modern Gold and pre-1930 generic Gold are adjusting with bullion, however, better date coins are still the target of many collectors.   Prices have increased for $4 Gold Stella’s in low grades up to PR61 due to a very strong buyer. This is an extremely rare coin with very few available in the market. Most of these grades increased at least 20% in this week’s Wholesale Dealer Price Guide.   True rarities attract advanced collectors all over the world. The most recent evidence of this is the sale of the 1804 $10 Gold in NGC Ultra Cameo Proof 65. It brought $5 million in a private sale to an anonymous collector. The same collector purchased the 1838 $10 Gold in PCGS Proof 65 for $1.7 million. Both of these prices are world records for the dates. David Albanese, a NumisMedia member dealer, brokered these transactions in the last two weeks.   The October FMV Price Guide has been enhanced (more below) and now includes color advertising.
