Welcome to Coin Update!
Here’s another round up of coin collecting news from across the internet. These links will cover the past week- typically updates are published more frequently, but I am still on half schedule during vacation. First, one US Mint product scheduled for release and another product delayed. Also, ANA election results, the CCAC’s choice for the 2009 Boy Scouts Coin, Mint Stats, Transformers Coins, new coin related legislation, a few top tens, and notable auctions. On to the links…
The next product to be released by the US Mint will be the Presidential Dollar Coin and Medal Set featuring John Tyler and Letitia Tyler. A separate set will be issued later featuring John Tyler and Julia Tyler.
So this is why the 2009 Mint Set hasn’t been released yet… The 95% copper cents included in the sets were found to have “unique tarnish issues.”
Results of the 2009 ANA Elections. Clifford Mishler was elected as ANA President. The successful candidates for the Board of Governors was also announced.
The CCAC provides their choice for the 2009 Boy Scouts Commemorative Coin design.
Most people have now heard about the undated 20p UK Coins. Here’s a handy visual guide on how to identify the error coin compared to regular coins.
The latest Mint Stats, providing sales figures for collector coin products currently offered by the US Mint.
The Perth Mint has produced new legal tender coins featuring the Transformers Optimus Prime and Megatron.
A brief local article recounting the celebrations surrounding the release of the Susan B. Anthony Dollar on July 2, 1979.
New proposed legislation that would have an impact on the taxation of gains from the sale of certain precious metals. Find more details on the Fair Treatment for Precious Metals Investors Act.
It seems to be a week for Top Ten (or Top Twenty Lists). Check out the Ten Rarest Gold Dollars, Ten Picks for those who like large silver coins, and Twenty Great Places to find coins.
And now for some notable auctions. This seller has a handful of “Pop Top” PCGS graded Lincoln Cents that have generated some heavy bidding.
A very unique collection of Morgan Dollars. It’s an entire roll of 20 1880-S Morgan Dollars, with each coin housed in an PCGS first generation rattler holder.
One of the conditional rarities of the Peace Dollar series. The 1925-S Peace Dollar NGC MS 65 offered with no reserve.
That wraps up this update! Have a great day!
