Tone of the Current Coin Market is Optimistic

Anxiety!

The threat of a war with Iran, the Federal Reserve Bank considering lowering interest rates at its next meeting, and gold; the metal which has been quietly appreciating modestly suddenly took off as the US dollar dropped in exchange rate value on the world market.

This in turn impacted gold bullion and collectible gold coins. Silver followed the spot price of the yellow metal, although not as dramatically. The ratio between gold and silver continues to expand, this perhaps being of future concern. Once again, however, with silver above its resistance level of $15 an ounce its price is impacting bullion and collectible coins.

Dealers continue to be cautious, mostly leaving buying prices alone, while raising the sales price of intrinsic value impacted coins as according to the market.

Scarce to rare coins have been holding their value nicely, but now appear to finally have an opportunity for significant increases as the business of coins looks ahead to see if this may usher in the investor sector of the market that has been absent for some time.

The spot price of gold and silver bullion may back off once again, but it looks like many of the recent gains may stick. The tone of the current coin market is optimistic just at the right moment, since we are in what is typically considered to be the summer slowdown prior to the August American Numismatic Association convention.

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...
