The week of December 10-14 2018 marks the worst December start in 38 years for the US stock market. On top of the terrible first two weeks this month, the Federal Reserve will conclude a policy meeting on Wednesday. The result of that meeting should see a 1/4% interest rate hike. This policy could likely deal another upper cut punch to already reeling market. The Dow Jones Industrial Average  dropped nearly 500 points, leaving it more than 10% below its early October all-time closing high, meeting a widely used definition of a market correction. It joined the S&P 500  and the Nasdaq Composite  which were already in correction mode. The S&P and Dow are negative for 2018.

    Sales of American Eagle gold bullion coins in 2018 are heading toward an low production number, with the number of 2018 $25 gold coins sold challenging the 1991 release for lowest mintage in the series. The 1991 $25 is the king for now as far as lowest minted $25 Gold Eagle and commands a hefty premium for high graded examples. If the new king of the hill does turn out to be 2018 the premiums should follow suit! Owning these Gold Eagles now is a must for collectors before the end of 2018 while premiums are still low.  The exact number won’t be known until the Mint releases audited sales totals in 2019,so there is still time to act. … [Read more...]

  American Eagle 2018 One Ounce Palladium Proof Coin This is not our normal post- we buy and sell coins. So we generally tell you Buy or sell-right? Never "DO NOT BUY". This will save you money in the long run, believe me. This coin was released from the US Mint on September 6, this year at less than $1400. It was an immediate sell out, pushing premiums up so fast that the market went to nearly double in days. That's fantastic if you could buy 20 coins from the mint and resell as soon as you got them in the mail.....but you could only get 1 coin from the mint!!!! There are retailers out there just like us capitalizing on this hype charging nearly $5000 per coin. If you want these for your collection just take a pause. In due time … [Read more...]

  Best time to buy silver in two years! Silver found a new 2 year low this week (August 13-17,2018) Many investors are asking themselves, “when will silver go up?” Unfortunately it’s tough to get a straight answer, even from experts. Here's what we know- it is impossible to time the precious metals markets perfectly. However it does make a lot of sense to buy the dips. Moving forward, geopolitical events and potential Fed rate hikes will certainly be key factors to watch. Put all of those things aside, the real key is supply and demand. The truth is that the above ground supply exceeds demand right now. The direct result is a two year low...for now. What does that mean for silver bugs? We say its a nice buying opportunity window. There … [Read more...]

United States Key Date Rare Coins Trey Cox 10.3.2017 Going back to the birth of our great nation’s currency, in 1793- every series of coins struck have dates that are harder to obtain that the rest. Some of the criteria that make a coin a key date are obvious; like a lower mintage than the others in a particular series. These types of coins will always be fundamentally rare. Some coins are extremely rare in high uncirculated grades. These are known as condition rarities and can also become key dates. Whatever makes a coin a key date one thing has held true in the rare coin market, key date coins have always commanded a premium over other coins. As an example, take a look at the $2.5 Indian Head Gold series. The key date is 1911 Denver. … [Read more...]
