Welcome back to Coin Update!
We’re back for your coin collecting round up! First gold and platinum are back on the upswing. Also, the silver proof 2008 UK Piedfort Coins, Louisa Adams First Spouse sales figures, a new coin designed to raise funds for cancer research, the Buffalo Nickel, and notable auctions. On to the links…
Gold advances, but remains within the same narrow range of the past few weeks. Platinum has been on the rise again due to concerns about a potential mining strike.
Should you buy gold and silver ETFs or physical bullion?
A closer look at the 2008 UK Silver Proof Piedfort Coins. These coins are so-named for their double weight and thickness.
Sales of the Louisa Adams First Spouse Gold Coins are tracking even slower than the prior release of the series.
Escala Group, parent company of Teletrade, Bowers and Merena, and others, named a new CFO.
After his wife was diagnosed with cancer, this man designed a coin to help raise funds for cancer research. You can purchase the coins here. (via Coinflation)
More details on the man who legally changed his name to “In God We Trust.” It sounds like he used his tax stimulus check to pay for the legal costs.
Are rough economic times putting older coins back into circulation?
Numismaster takes a look at the Buffalo Nickel.
And now for some notable auctions. First, an 1835 Capped Bust Dime NGC MS 62 with a Star designation. The coin displays some wonderful rainbow toning.
An earlier date Silver Eagle which grades perfect on the NGC scale: 1993-P Silver Eagle NGC PF 70 Ultra Cameo.
And a beautiful high grade Silver Dollar. It’s an 1880-S Morgan Dollar PCGS MS68.

See you tomorrow!
