By admin | June 27, 2008
Welcome to your Friday edition of Coin Update!
Don’t let the summer doldrums get you down. Here’s a round up of fresh coin collecting news! Gold takes out the $900 level and pushes for more. Also, coins from the US Mint’s Direct Ship Presidential Dollar Program, National Park Quarters, Native American Dollar designs, the creepy “Facebank,” and notable auctions. On to the links…
Gold has its biggest one day gain in two years, in reaction to the recent statement from the Federal Reserve, sinking stocks, a weak dollar, and rising oil.
Take a look at the coins received from the US Mint’s Direct Ship Presidential Dollar Program.
Is the proposed National Park Quarters program a good idea? Numismatic News readers predominantly say, “Yes.”
A new 2008 Gold Commemorative from the Swissmint entitled International Year of Planet Earth 2008.
OK, this is a little bit weird. Here is the humanoid-looking “Facebank” that eats your coins. Be sure to watch the video demonstration.
Does the box size indicate whether your 2008-W Silver Eagle has the Reverse of 2007 or 2008?

And now for some notable auctions. It seems like there’s always at least one 1909-S VDB Lincoln Cent graded MS65RD on eBay. Here’s this week’s version.
A nearly complete collection of Morgan Dollars and Peace Dollars. The set contains 117 of the 120 coins.
That’s wraps up this week. Have a great weekend!
