Welcome to Coin Update!
We’re here to provide you with a daily round up of the most interesting or important coin collecting stories from around the internet. Today, an extreme opportunity in gold, State Quarters coming out of hiding, 2008-W Unc Gold Eagle sales figures, a coin fueled publicity event, two new coin blogs, and notable auctions. On to the links…
Are we in the midst of an “extreme” opportunity in gold? This article makes the case based on the gold/oil ratio.
Are some of the previously collected State Quarters finding their way back into circulation as people try to cope with tough economic times?
CoinNews has a video of the recent Louis Braille Commemorative Coin design unveiling.
After three months of sales, the sales figures for the 2008-W Uncirculated Gold Eagles look pretty low.
Chevrolet has an interesting coin related publicity event that unfortunately lasted for only 30 minutes.
How would you like to buy an “American” 1804 Silver Dollar for around $138? Coin World looks at some United States key dates in North American coinage.
Two new coin blogs recently launched that look promising. The first is Coingrader Forum which discusses decisions and designations of grading services and related issues.
The second is John Feigenbaum’s Ramblings, the personal blog of the President of David Lawrence Rare Coins. The first post responds to the issue of DGS grading coins owned by DLRC. (DLRC owns DGS.)
And now for some notable auctions. A complete set of Walking Liberty Halves including the key dates.
One of my favorite key date coins: The 1928 Peace Dollar NGC MS 64.
And last, a Morgan Dollar with some vibrant rainbow toning encapsulated by PCGS.
That’s it for today. See you Friday!
