What’s New This Week……….
Greg Reynolds weekly column on the B&M Auction. “In Baltimore, on Thursday, Nov. 4, 2010, B&M auctioned the 'Malibu' collections of Standing Liberty Quarters (SLQs), Liberty Seated Halves and Liberty Seated Dollars. ”
A profile on a unusual item: an NGC black slab. “On Nov 14th, a rarely seen and unusual item sold on eBay, but what made this sale interesting was not the coin being sold, but rather the holder it was in.”
Global gold consumption for 2010 will be higher than 2009 as a result of increasing levels of demand in India and China, sustained global demand for gold investment, together with growth in jewellery and industrial demand, the World Gold Council ("WGC") said.
Doug Winter asks why don’t more people collect 20th century U.S. gold coins by date?
Adam Crum discusses the gold bull market. “Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke has been quoted as saying he would fly over the United States and drop dollars from a helicopter should it be necessary.”
Early U.S. coinage and classic proofs, including one of the finest known 1895 Morgan dollars, are the twin strengths of the Heritage Auction Galleries December 2010 U.S. Coin Auction, to be held in conjunction with the Money Show of the Southwest in Houston, TX. Floor sessions are Dec. 2-3.
Doug Winter writes on the gold coin market. “As someone who is pretty attuned to the strengths and weaknesses of the rare gold coin market, I can accurately rate how well (or poorly) a specific series is performing. 2010 was an interesting year for gold coins.”
