Proof Silver Eagles Come Out on Top

It was a quiet week as far as new releases go, but for top sellers, silver continues to dominate.

The front-runner this week is the 2020-W proof silver Eagle coin. With a hearty week-over-week gain of 18,089, it cracked 300,000 with a current overall total of 300,543. This pushed it from second place last week into number one.

Coming in second this week is the 2020 10-coin clad proof set with “W” nickel. It jumped more than 4,500 for the week, finishing at a total of 312,001.

Silver’s strength is again evident in the performance of the 10-coin silver proof set with “W” nickel. It increased by 4,128 this week.

With the price of silver holding strong at just north of $21 per ounce as this is being written, it will be interesting to see how sales of silver products fare in the coming weeks.

Rounding out our top 5 performers with more modest sales are 100-coin bags of the San Francisco-mintmarked 2020 Salt River Bay National Historic Park quarters with an overall total of 2,845 after about a week and a half on the market and the two-roll set of 2020 Kennedy half dollars that now totals 17,257.

Traditional craft of India: Handicrafts on Stamps Part II

Despite rapid social and technological changes in India, the use of craft products is an integral aspect of an Indian’s social life.  Handicraft aims at processing materials by hand with hand tools. The result of this can be a useful thing or a decorative item. The tradition of making handicrafts is deeply frozen in the social norms of Indian society. In any of the handmade products, a crafter transfers an aspect of their cultural heritage to the ideas, forms, material and manufacturing process of the craft.
