As summer winds down, we begin to seriously get back to work...so new coins are being added....

last 3 added   lovely 1911 $2.50 in AU53 on of our favs for budget minded folks as this coin would sit well with MS MS63 coins and yet this one would be less than half the price!

A really perfect 1851 large cent... PCGS MS64 BN... we really like copper in Brown as you save a lot of money and Red coins are going to turn over time

We also purchased a heard of Buffalos and a 1919 NGC MS64 is just so pretty frosty obverse and a hint of color on reverse..sure to please and at only $400 quite the bargain!

The coin market seems robust at the moment... but IMHO a good indicator will be the upcoming Central States Coin show held this week in Chicago... with 600 dealers setting up... this is certainly a top 10 show... We will be busy and hope to see you there if you attend!  Jon

The Central States Numismatic Society’s 84th Anniversary Convention will be held in Schaumburg, IL, at the Schaumburg Renaissance Hotel and Convention Center, located at 1551 North Thoreau Drive, Schaumburg, IL 60173. Our event site is located in close proximity to Chicago’s premier suburban shopping destination, the Woodfield Mall. The area also boasts several hundred restaurants within a few miles of the convention site.

So Long Beach coin show is over and granted that many dealers did not make it to the show because of the storms in the midwest.

With that said... its the same old story,   really good quality coins are just not around.... At our last show we were able to buy a few nice coins but we continue to be selling more than we are able to buy.  yes we are picky but as you know we would never sell a coin that we would not put in our own collection!   That is our Mantra and we will continue to stay the course...

If you do have a great collection that you are thinking of selling, please let us know...we would be happy to help!

Well the Fun show (The Largest Coin Show In USA) is now over and was incredible (not just for us, but all of the 600 dealers that set up)

It was non stop action from Set up day on Wed, til we finally closed up on Sat night... some die hards even stayed for Sunday

Coins were bought and sold and 99% of the dealers said it was in the Top 5 FUNS that they have ever done!

Looks like the coin market is still going to be strong for the next few months!   We will be posting some NEWPS in the coming weeks...

Get ready for a BIG auction featuring magnificent U.S. gold and pattern coins from the Harry W. Bass Jr. Collection to be held during the Jan. 5 Florida United Numismatists show in Orlando.

The 103-coin offering includes the unique 1870-S Indian Head gold $3 piece graded Specimen 50 by Professional Coin Grading Service, which notes on the insert that the numbers 893 are engraved on the reverse. Along with many of the coins on offer, it has been known to a generation of numismatists as a core part of the exhibit at the American Numismatic Association’s Edward C.
