The market continues to show healthy activity. Dealers report strength in various areas while even series with lesser activity are still able to trade at discounts. Dealers may not be as frenzied as they were a few months ago, but they are keeping busy and the holiday season helps quite a bit....

This is the time of the year that most retail coin shops turn to gift-giving numismatic items. This includes everything numismatics has to offer but there is more emphasis on jewelry related and display packaged coins. There is still a strong desire to fill special needs of favorite...

We are about to enter the last month of 2006 and the metals appear to be making a very strong move to close out the year. Several analysts feel that Gold can finish above the $660 level and Silver around $15 per ounce. If this happens, the coin market should remain in an up cycle. This morning...

The coin market may not be hot, but it is definitely better than some think. We have mentioned that there are tiers of market activity; there may be a better description. There are layers of activity that seem to keep this market very active. There is a top layer of coins dealers and...

Much of the activity we are seeing is in modern issues. This may seem like a short term market but to some it is very real. Dealers and collectors are making thousands of dollars on purchasing coins from the mint and having them certified at the major grading services. The problem that some...

We are finding a considerable amount of activity throughout the spectrum of numismatics. If you think the coin market is slow because there has been a shift in demand to the modern issue coinage, you are way off base. The shift in visual demand may be to modern issue coinage causing the...

We are finding a remarkable amount of activity, both in wholesale and retail sales. The perception may be that the overall coin market is soft but we feel this is not correct. Generic coins may be lower and more difficult to sell at this time but we see plenty of wholesale activity at the new...

Most dealers are trying to adjust to the new coinage the U.S. Mint is producing and selling to the public at large. They are the only coin dealers that can get away with selling coins and not offering to buy them back. They also have the ability to advertise in all forms of the media using...

The Long Beach Coin Expo just completed a whirlwind week of activity that revealed a very strange behavior. Many dealers are trading at new, lower levels, especially for generic coins. The metals have really hurt the bottom-line for dealers normally carrying a large inventory of bullion...

We have definitely entered a new market for the time being. We are still seeing lots of money being spent by lots of different types of collectors. However, they are looking for very specific coins. We would still have to describe the coin market as hot but there are certain series that are...

Rarities sell, expensive coins are strong and coins with a story are sought by collectors and investors. However, generic coins appear to be just a little soft as we found out in Denver at the just concluded ANA. There were plenty of dealers and collectors to view the hoard of 1933 $20 Gold...
