    The soon-to-be-released Mayan Commemorative will be a big hit in 2012.

    Outside of that some coins will be blistering hot while others? Not so much.

    It depends on what show is going on at the time. Whether that time of year show is usually busy. It also depends whether it's hot outside because folks want to be outside with good weather. If it's cold outside, folks don't want to leave the house. Now if the show is too close to another show, or too many auctions back to back this will effect it as well. Or, it could depend on who/what is manipulating the market at that time. Me? I could care less what happens!image

    As we approach the Civil War's Sesquicentennial, there will be more and more people picking up a double eagle from those years, or putting a set together etc.

    Coin's for sale/trade.

    Panic will set in sometime in January with the cries SELL SELL SELL
    This will be met with uneasiness from February to about June
    Then things will really start to heat up only to cool off a bit in late September/early October
    Then most collectors will settle in and rethink over their collections in the November/December time frame.






    I guess it will be a normal yearimage
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"

    I believe that the economy is going to get worse- I believe that people are going to be hurting badly- I believe that commodities are going to be higher because the dollar is going to keep softening- Unemployment is going to approach 15% and I believe that we may be ready to enter a major world war. With the tensions rising in Israel, North Korea, and South America I believe the tea kettle is going to whistle and TSHTF and we see very bad scenarios. I believe we will be hurting- And I believe the coin industry will have further correction by as much as 30%. Some big players are not going to stay in the game and we are going to see large PQ collections come to market but with minimal buyers due to a lack of funds... I am a pessissmist and I believe that this is going to get uglier.

    2010 will be measured by the number of nice coins that come out for sale. If there are several high end collections that go to auction, with some great individual coins, all will be well---dealers will have fresh inventory, and collectors will step up and pay.

    But if all the nice coins stay put, because owners will not try to sell in a down economy, it will be a very slow year.

    Bullion and bullion related coins will still trade, as the price of gold inches toward $1200/oz.

    Most collectors will switch to type, instead of trying to complete 70 plus coin sets.

    The TPGs will try some innovative proposals-- like additional designations for full strike, pq for grade, Proof like for all series, nano-chips for slabs, different holders for special events/series,etc.

    As the number of coins sent to auction decreases, fewer sales will occur--down 20% from recent times. Old venues will close, and new ones appear.

    And Yes, Laura will try again to run an auction company.

    TDN and SaintGuru will announce they are long lost brothers.

    Stewart will give all his copper to charity.

    Maybe it will be an exciting year.

    Gold coins become white double nuclear hot as the inflation rate hits double digits.

    I don't have that kind of dexterity. I do think this is a great market though.

    Most of the market will be flat or slightly down.

    Generic gold will take a hit as the overall economy continues in the doldrums without inflation and gold locks into a trading range below current levels.

    Dealers who have been living off the sale of bullion and generic gold will be hurting.

    Dealer inventories will remain thin as they remain reluctant to buy in a dead market and collectors remain reluctant to sell.

    Anything nice you see in inventory will be a consignment.

    Retail prices on the bourse and dealer websites will continue at current levels-that is to say dealer prices will continue to exceed prices set at auction but no one will buy. Part of the reason will be prices set by consignors. Part of the reason is that dealers know that some coin junkies always need a fix despite the price.

    The manufacturer of swifter dusters will experience rising sales in the numismatic niche as dealers find a pressing need to dust off the coins languishing in inventory.

    The Laura Sperbers of the world, despite your resentment, will continue to do just fine filling orders for well heeled clients who can lose half their net worth and still be rich.

    John Albanese will continue to find that collectors are happy to have him screening coins for them.

    The same nay sayers will still be drawn to every CAC thread like moths to a flame, and TDN will still be chasing them with a fly swatter.

    PCGS will adopt a dress code requiring all employees to wear Aloha shirts.

    More collectors will unwittingly acquire Chinese counterfeits in counterfeit TPG holders.

    The Precious Metal boards may become more active than the coin boards.
