July 1, 2008: NASA Commemorative Coins, PCGS vs. NGC Mint State and Proof 70
By admin | July 1, 2008
Welcome to the first Coin Update of the second half of the year!
It’s hard to believe that half the year is already gone. First, a look at the first half performance of commodities. Also, the proposal for NASA Commemorative Coins, eBay and counterfeit goods, world paper money, PCGS vs. NGC MS 70 and Proof 70 coins, copper large cents, and notable auctions. On to the links…
With half of the year behind us, how has gold performed so far? The year to date gain is a respectable 10.78%, but that’s far behind the 46.11% gain for oil and 78.81% gain for natural gas.
Numismatic News takes a look at some of the unique aspects of the proposed NASA Commemorative Coins featuring the nine planets of our solar system (including Pluto?) and the sun.
A French court has ordered eBay to pay $61 million in damages to LVMH for allowing the sale of fake luxury goods on its auction platform.
World paper money makes a strong showing, driven by overseas buyers experiencing prosperity at home and stronger currencies.
Coin Values takes a look at the vastly different populations and premiums paid for some NGC and PCGS Proof 70 and Mint State 70 coins.
What happens to coins that defy authentication?
Coin World examines the collecting opportunities for Copper Large Cents.
And now for some notable auctions. A nice example of the popular “11 Cent” Error Coin. It’s a 2000 Lincoln Cent struck on a Roosevelt Dime.
The key date 1916-D Mercury Dime in the rarely encountered grade of PCGS MS62FB!
And lastly, the 2008 Bald Eagle Commemorative 3 Coin Proof Set in an NGC multi-coin holder. All coins are grade PF 70 Ultra Cameo.
See you tomorrow!
