PCGS Founder David Hall Departs Collectors Universe

By |2018-09-19T22:22:10+00:00September 19th, 2018|Coin Shop Blog|Comments Off on PCGS Founder David Hall Departs Collectors Universe

By Joshua McMorrow-Hernandez, Editor  ​​Collectors Universe announced last night the departure of David Hall from his role as the company's president and chief operating officer effective September 18, 2018. The news comes as a surprise to many in the numismatic community, and a brief press release from the company announcing Hall's termination provides no details as to the reason for his immediate departure. Among the few other insights the report offers is that Joseph J. Orlando, the firm's chief executive officer, will assume Hall's duties. ​​ ​​As of today, with little other information available to go on, any guesses as [...]

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 George Kolbe and David Fanning are perhaps the most dynamic of duos in the numismatic literary world, and they manned an expansive booth at the ANA World's Fair of Money last month in Philadelphia. Of course, we at CDN Publishing were there, too, and throughout the days of the event, I went out to interview several dealers and other numismatic luminaries at the ANA show. I simply couldn't pass up the opportunity to talk with Kolbe and Fanning, who I've talked with in the past and have learned much from through our conversations. I threw the [...]

By Joshua McMorrow-Hernandez, Editor It's one thing to talk about rare coins, and it's another to actually handle them. Yet, John Brush, President of David Lawrence Rare Coins (DLRC) in Virginia Beach does both in a recent interview we at the CDN team taped during the ANA World's Fair of Money Show in Philadelphia last month. 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  I'm arriving in Philadelphia today to join CDN Publisher John Feigenbaum and CDN Editor Patrick Ian Perez at the 2018 American Numismatic Association (ANA) World's Fair of Money.

I've been to many coin shows over the years, including the ANA National Money Show. Yet - believe it or not - this [...]

MacCoins Serve Up Numismatic Fun At McDonald’s Restaurants

By |2018-08-06T22:19:39+00:00August 6th, 2018|Coin Shop Blog|Comments Off on MacCoins Serve Up Numismatic Fun At McDonald’s Restaurants

By Joshua McMorrow-Hernandez, Editor Big Mac tokens, also known as MacCoins, were the toast of the town over the weekend, as McDonald's celebrates the 50th anniversary of its iconic Big Mac hamburger with a set of five brass tokens, each token representing a decade of the double-stack burger's existence with designs symbolizing the 1960s, '70s, '80s, '90s, and 2000s. In what seemed the equivalent of getting an adult version of a Happy Meal, I gleefully ordered a Big Mac, fries, and Coke and received my brass token as a prize. In fact, I ordered a few more Big Macs just [...]

1922 “Plain” No-D Lincoln Cents: A Closer Look

By |2018-07-25T22:18:48+00:00July 25th, 2018|Coin Shop Blog|Comments Off on 1922 “Plain” No-D Lincoln Cents: A Closer Look

By Joshua McMorrow-Hernandez, Editor There are at least two varieties in the Lincoln wheat cent sub-series that countless penny enthusiasts vie for: one is the 1955 doubled die cent and the other is the so-called 1922 “Plain” No-D from the Denver Mint. It's a fascinating die variety with curious origins. For many years it fooled some collectors into thinking that Philadelphia had actually minted Lincoln “pennies” in 1922. Spoiler alert: The Philly Mint did not, in fact, make any 1922 cents, but you probably already knew that! The Denver Mint struck 7,160,000 Lincoln cents in 1922, all intended to carry the “D” [...]
