Welcome to another edition of Coin Update!

Gold and other precious metals take a few steps back, CoinStar's into more than just coins, a questionable eBay tactic, PNG's 2008 Awards, some interesting observations from Dave Harper, and notable auctions. On to the links...

Metals take a breather. Gold retreats on upcoming IMF sales.

Do you know about CoinStar's other businesses?

The Professional Numismatics Guild (PNG) seeks nominations for its 2008 awards. Here's PNG's website.

What do you think of this eBay seller's tactic?

Dave Harper provides two take-aways from his attendance of the World Money Fair.

During the first week of ordering for the new Bald Eagle Commemoratives, there were issues with the internet and the phones, but not the mail.

Up next, some notable auctions. Remember the US Mint Recall of some 2004 Lewis & Clark Coin and Pouch Sets? Now the recalled sets are selling for a premium on eBay.

Here's a nice higher end example of this popular double die. On eBay, the 1955 Double Die Lincoln Cent PCGS MS63RB.

Lastly, the key modern gold commemorative in the full 4 piece set. 1997-W Jackie Robinson Commemorative 4 piece Set.

That's it for today. See you tomorrow!
