Welcome back to Coin Update!

We’re back for your daily round up of coin collecting news from around the web! Gold pulls back this morning. Also, reactions for the newly unveiled 2009 Lincoln Cent Designs, detecting fake pound coins, First Spouse Gold Mintages, a newly discovered error coin dated 1991, and notable auctions. On to the links…

Gold pulls back this morning following yesterday’s rise above the $900 level.  Yesterday marked the first time gold traded above $900 since August 4.

The 2009 Lincoln Cent Designs were unveiled yesterday. The news reached far and wide. Here’s is one of the articles from the mainstream press.

Some reactions: Susan Headley loves them. The PNG President thinks the design change is exciting but questions the usefulness of the one cent coin.

Another follow up from yesterday’s update. A quick coin video on how to detect a fake pound coin.

The latest First Spouse Gold coin featuring Andrew Jackson’s Liberty seems poised to break the streak of declining sales figures for the series.

Is this becoming a new trend? Another article about picking up coins from the ground.

A 1991-P Korean War Commemorative Proof Silver Dollar was recently discovered with a rotated die error. It’s somewhat amazing that this went undiscovered for so many years.

And now for some notable auctions.  Count ‘em, Five Saint Gaudens Gold Double Eagles all graded PCGS MS66 up for auction as a single lot.

The key date 1932-S Washington Quarter PCGS MS63 with a reasonable Buy it Now price.

And last, the always popular 1995-W Proof Silver Eagle PCGS PR69DCAM.

Have a prosperous Tuesday!
