1995: The Year Of The Last Great Rare US Coin?

By |2018-09-18T22:14:08+00:00September 18th, 2018|Coin Shop Blog|Comments Off on 1995: The Year Of The Last Great Rare US Coin?

By Joshua McMorrow-Hernandez, Editor As a modern coin enthusiast, I'm frequently making the case that the last great United States Mint rarity was released in 1995 – the year the 1995-W American Silver Eagle was issued as a free “bonus” in the 1995 10th Anniversary American Eagle proof set. The 5-piece proof set, issued for $999 (remember, the price of gold back then was about $387 per ounce), was an immediate hit, though relatively few collectors of American Silver Eagles could afford to buy four gold coins for the sake of picking up the 1995-W silver eagle. The same was [...]

Why Lower Gold Prices Shouldn’t Get You Down

By |2018-09-17T22:19:40+00:00September 17th, 2018|Coin Shop Blog|Comments Off on Why Lower Gold Prices Shouldn’t Get You Down

By Joshua McMorrow-Hernandez, Editor Gold prices have been trending downward lately amid a strengthening US dollar and the ongoing threat of tariff wars. Meanwhile, many coin dealers, collectors, and bullion investors are antsy about gold hovering around the $1,200 mark for so long. It flirted with $1,175 in mid August and many industry analysts have suggested in recent weeks the yellow metal could even dip below the $1,000 mark if current conditions persist. What a contrast to the bullion situation back in the spring, when gold was bouncing above $1,350 and some market luminaries predicted gold would hit $1,600 - [...]

By Joshua McMorrow-Hernandez, Editor It's one thing to talk about rare coins, and it's another to actually handle them.

Brush is a busy guy, and he has been especially busy lately helping famous coin collector Dell Loy Hansen assemble a coin collection billed as the most complete cabinet of United States coins ever assembled, even topping the legendary collection built during the 20th [...]

By Joshua McMorrow-Hernandez, Editor Bonhams, the famous British auction house known for selling high-end collectibles, has been bought by private equity partnership Epiris. Bonhams, founded in 1793, is one of the world's largest and oldest auction companies dealing in arts and antiques, and also sells many coins and other numismatic items.

The buyout offers mutual benefits, with Epiris facing much-needed success in acquiring [...]

By Joshua McMorrow-Hernandez, CDN Editor It was Wednesday at the American Numismatic Association (ANA) World's Fair of Money coin show in Philadelphia, but don't tell that to coin dealers – many of whom may have sworn it was a Friday or Saturday, based on robust crowds and the overall buzz in the room at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. We at CDN Publishing, booth 923, observed a steady crowd and constant foot traffic over at our table. Many copies of and subscriptions for the Greysheet were sold today, but on top of that we received excellent feedback on our revamped Greysheet, which [...]

By |2018-08-15T22:15:45+00:00August 15th, 2018|Coin Shop Blog|Comments Off on Night At The Museum: ANA World’s Fair Of Money Kickoff Celebration in Philadelphia

By Joshua McMorrow-Hernandez, CDN Editor When I arrived in Philadelphia yesterday for the American Numismatic Association (ANA) World's Fair of Money, it was a surprisingly brisk Tuesday afternoon on the bourse floor at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. Sure – it was opening day, so it's going to attract people. And there was certainly a good number of dealers making their rounds with other dealers and getting some early trading action underway. But looking across the floor I saw a good mix of the public coming in and a very diverse demographic – young and old, men and women, and people [...]
