July 28, 2008: Cramer on Gold, Coin Shows, 1943-S Bronze Lincoln Cent
By admin | July 28, 2008
Welcome back to Coin Update!
We hope you had a wonderful weekend. Now its time for some fresh coin collecting news from around the internet. First, two opposing opinions on the near term prospects for gold. Also, the Double Prosperity Set, coin shows, 1943-S Bronze Cent, Lincoln Cent and Jefferson Nickel values, and notable auctions. On to the links…
Jim Cramer thinks that the gold play is over, although it might be worth revisiting after it “wildly overshoots the lows.”
From another point of view, there are multiple positive signs that indicate an approaching buy signal.
The US Mint’s recently announced Double Prosperity Set sure adds a big premium for packaging.
Some tips for collectors on the way to their first coin show and some reflections on the author’s first coin show experience.
The upcoming unveiling of the 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle gets some mainstream press coverage.
The recent acquisition of a 1943-S Bronze Lincoln Cent, with many interesting details of the story behind the coin.
Rare coins as an informal way of estate planning.
The values of common date Lincoln Cents and Jefferson Nickels have risen. Some by as much as 75%!
How’s this for a roll find? A 1915 Austrian 1915 One Ducat, which contains .349 grams of gold found in a roll of pennies.
And now for some notable auctions. This 1966 Kennedy Half is one of the most attractive rainbow toned Kennedy Halves I have seen. It’s worth checking out the pictures, even if the price puts the coin out of range.
Wow! Here’s the complete 1995 Gold Eagle Proof Set. All five coins are in NGC PF 70 Ultra Cameo including the 1995-W Proof Silver Eagle!
And here’s an original unopened box of 100 1963 Proof Sets.
That’s it for today. See you all tomorrow!

I don’t think Kramer is correct. Glod is still a play.
