Why so many $10 Indians in the B&M auction?

More $10 Indians up for auction than I have seen in a long time. What's up with that? Not that I am in the market to buy right now but they are nice to look at.

    Well, at least it can't because there are too many Chiefs and not enough Indians.

    my guess is that these indians with the price of gold at 930ish will
    still fetch good money and the investors in those pieces will switch
    to something else that has more potential.

    if the stock market continues to rally.. we might see a lot of generic
    gold hit the auction block as well as nicer pieces as people bail.

    or it could just be an anomoly but i doubt it. image

    I know a fellow collector has his whole Ten Buck Injian set in that sale.

    If the market rallies it will mean inflation has probably taken root and that deflation concerns are waning. If that case, gold "should " go up with the market. Every down day in the equities market takes gold down with it as traders flock to the US dollar and that becomes an anti-gold scenerio. At least that's been the trend. Market up/dollar down/gold up/oil up. Market down/dollar up/gold down/oil down. Obviously this is not an absolute but pretty close in most cases. I guess a flight from hard assests as a saftey trade into stocks could effect gold ( for those who hold gold for that reason), but it's a traders driven leveraged trade as the yellow metals market is very thin which of course drives spot gold..........JMO.

    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    I don't think it is highly unusual to have a lot of $10 indians in a plain sale. If it were $5 indians then I'd be surprised...assuming it was just a normal sale and not some special Dukor-like sale or something. There are a lot less of the $5 indians available typically...
