Imagine coin prices expressed in Bitcoins

Bitcoin-realestate.com is now selling houses in exchange for Bitcoins. This can be taken either of two ways. You could be the owner of some real estate who wants to speculate in cyber currency. You could be an owner of a cyber currency who wants to get into hard assets instead.

It hasn’t happened yet to my knowledge, but what about someone wanting to trade a cyber currency for collectible coins or vice versa? Or should we say purchase rare coins with Bitcoins?

Right now cyber currencies and equities are two of the main culprits why not only coins but all collectibles in general are out of favor among investors and many former collectors.

What if some of this cyber currency were to be offered when someone is going to buy collectible coins? Prices realized listed in Bitcoins from January 2017 would now be worth 16 times as much. That would put an 1804 dollar at over $50 million. Couldn’t the value of these rarities escalate due to their fixed supply versus this increased demand from owners of Bitcoins? We can hope, can’t we?

A significant bear market in stocks could definitely trigger a buying spree in coins and collectibles, but couple this with people bailing out of cyber currencies and coins once more could become the collectible of choice. Right now coins continue to lag these two markets, but at some point cyber currency and stocks will stop appreciating. Astute collectors who are buying coins now rather than later will be the winners.

Stack’s Bowers Galleries to display the Cardinal Collection Educational Foundation tribute to Benjamin Franklin’s Libertas Americana medal

Hover to zoom. Santa Ana, CA (December 19, 2020) — Stack’s Bowers Galleries is pleased to announce that it will display an incredible tribute to the Libertas Americana medal, assembled by the Cardinal Collection Education Foundation, at the upcoming Florida United Numismatists Convention in Orlando, January 9-11, 2020. The display, centered around one of the most beautiful and important medals struck in American history, will be found at the firm’s bourse tables 420-422. Back by popular demand, this collection drew dozens of interested collectors at the ANA convention in August and will be enjoyed once more by those attending this year’s FUN show. Following decisive victories at Saratoga and Yorktown, Benjamin Franklin wrote to the United States Secretary of Foreign Affairs Robert Livingston: This puts me in mind of a medal I have had a mind to strike… representing the United States by the figure of an infant Hercules in his cradle, strangling the two serpents; and France by that ...

Letters to the Editor: Nov. 12, 2019

War in the Pacific ‘W’ Mintmark I was in the self-checkout at Walmart four weeks ago here in Mt. Vernon, Ill., and received a little bit of loose change for my purchase. I didn’t check it until I got home and was very surprised to find a War in the Pacific with a “W” mintmark. I’m just wondering if it’s something that I should send in to one of the grading companies. In other words, would it be worth more later on by doing so? I understand that it’ll cost at least   $30.00 to do so and also heard that “in the raw” is only worth maybe $25. I   hope to hear a reply. Name and address withheld   In Response to Richard Giedroyc’s Commentary I politely disagree with erudite and longtime numismatic colleague, Richard Giedroyc, whose Numismatic News story, “Get Rich” Promotion Wrong Angle for Healthy Market Growth,” was critical of a recent CNBC story entitled, “People have been making up to $100,000 off ‘coin hunting.’” He doesn’t think the hobby will benefit with an a...
