There is a key dynamic tension at work in numismatics. Two opposing forces tug a coin collector one way or the other. What could these possibly be? The first force is a collector evaluation of some coin series as being too difficult/expensive to complete. When a collector reaches this conclusion, he or she does not […]

A Nobel Prize gold medal in economic sciences was sold for $ 187,500 May 31 by Nate D. Sanders Auctions in Los Angeles. It was awarded in 2005 to Thomas C. Schelling. Is this news something of interest to coin collectors? Nobel Prize medals are not something coin collectors would normally encounter, nor would they […]

Boston goldsmith Joseph Edwards Jr. doesn’t have the fame Ephraim Brasher and his Brasher doubloon do, but the two men were in the same business. Both were goldsmiths who stamped foreign gold coins of adjusted weight to indicate a standard of value for early Americans. Daniel Frank Sedwick, LLC, will auction a 1741 gold cob […]

American coin collectors have offered many creative suggestions to the U.S. Mint to generate new interest. I recall several readers have suggested over the years that the Mint deliberately strike a rarity and put it into circulation for someone to find down the road. It would be nice to get the general public to scan […]

Wisconsin gets its time in the spotlight April 11. That date is when there will be a ceremonial launch of the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore quarter. It has been 14 years since we had our turn during the state quarter program. Clifford Mishler, Numismatic News columnist, is already planning his drive north from Iola to […]

Everybody has to pay bills. The cash to do so has to come from somewhere. For many in the coin business, selling bullion coins has helped keep the lights on. Some have gone so far as to abandon numismatics in favor of all bullion all the time. But was that wise? Bullion sales move in […]

Collectors of Lincoln cents might feel as if they are flying under the radar of Chinese counterfeiters. However, there is more than one way to fake a rarity. Long before China got into the fakery business, added mintmarks were the scourge of the numismatic hobby. They apparently still are, as Numismatic Guaranty Corporation’s list of […]

The Industry Council for Tangible Assets has notched another sales tax win. Congratulations. Alabama becomes the 37th state to exempt sales of gold, silver, platinum and palladium bullion and money, ICTA’s David Crenshaw reports. Numismatic commerce can blossom thanks to Gov. Kay Ivey. She signed into law Senate Bill 156 on March 6 to create […]

When Clifford Mishler gave me a job interview 40 years ago today, slabs did not exist. How times change. Yesterday, Numismatic Guaranty Corporation announced that it is first to have graded its 40 millionth coin. What an amazing milestone. The Sarasota firm is rightfully proud of it. It has taken just over 30 years to […]

While Wall Street tries to figure out why the stock market tumbled from January records, coin collectors might be sitting on the answer. We are not superior economic experts, but we do monitor something that might prove to be useful. Collectors note when 2018-dated coins reach circulation. Going by my email and mail, the new […]

Will the stock market continue to plunge today after big selloffs Friday and Monday? Coin collectors who have 401(k) plans and IRAs probably want to know. Bitcoin, the darling of fad chasers, has plunged 62 percent from its recent peak. Coin collectors are interested in this as part of their ongoing concern over the trend […]

Are you a member of a coin club? You should be. At the very least, you should be a member of the national collector organization, the American Numismatic Association. I cannot tell you the number of times that coin collectors have written me over the past 40 years to say “someone should do something about […]

The tragic assassination of President John F. Kennedy 54 years ago still evokes sadness. It also evokes many questions about how and why it happened. One thing is certain, it inspired the creation of the Kennedy half dollar. It is a coin that was authorized by Congress in record time. The legislation was signed into […]

I am just back from China. I was in the country for five days to attend the Beijing International Coin Exposition. It was my first visit. I learned much. The differences between American coin conventions and the one in China are stark. Imagine how it would be if the United States Mint owned and organized […]
