    I agree...the mood seems better of late in this 'coin society'. There's less gun and gold/silver postings over the last year then there used to be.

    I hope I can find some change the next four years, so I can move forward. I think I'll lobby DCarr to make a 1 trillion dollar platinum coin out of my 1 ounce A.P.E.

    Must not be all that bad out there. We have seen a coin sell for 10 million, we have seen some pretty nice coins posted on this very forum and I bought more coins last year than any other year I can remember.

    We have the National Parks Quarter and Presidential Dollar collectors fully supporting the production of our nickels and cents.
    Gold and silver coins are being produced in greater numbers than ever before. If people aren't feeling wealthy, they should. We will create wealth by selling less for more and the people will be happy. Postal workers won't be getting overtime for Saturday work and this will save billions. Packages will still be delivered, so eBay is safe from the chopping block. This means shipping won't miss a lick.

    Copper will always be reactive. Silver will always tone (way different the second time around)

    All is well in the world of coins. Have no fear. There is nothing to fear but coin doctors.

    (None of this factual. I'm just having a little fun with coins at the mint and beyond)

    Practice makes perfect & nobody is perfect. So, practice being nobody.

    Based on the number of coins being certified by PCGS, their backlog, reports from Long Beach, reports from FUN, record coin sale at FUN, and record number of coins produced by the US Mint, I would say it looks like a Bull Market in coins.

    This year will be important, and new price records will be exceeded, but only if coins come out of hiding.

    And we are seeing some of that happening--the Paul Gerrie collection of large cents did great at Goldbergs, along
    with a few other series. The 1808 CBH in PC 66 was uber strong, realizing close to 50K with juice.

    If Stewart were to sell his copper, and High Desert some of his monsters, we could be in a new era of multiple coins exceeding all current guides.
    Then there is the Newman collection- I have seen his 1794 dollar, raw, and it is a beaut. This sale( in multiples) will mark 2013 as a banner year, like 1997-Eliasberg_
    1998-Pittman and Price.

    I am getting ready!

    I don't know why the Pittman, Eliasberg and other heirs decided to sell at the bottom of the market in 1996-1997 but they did. I suspect they got tired of waiting after missing
    boat in 1989. It did sort of look like in 1996 that the coin market doldrums would never end. The stock market was hot and coins were not. Stewart, HD and others aren't ready
    to sell into a less than blazing market like Pittman and Eliasberg did. Some others who have sinced passed on would have to get that ball rolling. The market is great for 6 and 7
    figure rarities.....and even some of the best REG sets aren't in that company. We're probably still a few years away from a 1980 type market blowout (ie Garrett auction) for coin
    rarities. We need both gold and silver to join in that blowout parabolic move as they did in the late 1970's. Still a ways to go there "pardners." And while junk and mid-level coins
    went way up in 1980 I'm not so sure that they will take part in a final run up this time around. There are just too many coins and not enough buyers to spin prices to lofty levels. In
    many cases we've yet to exceed the 1980 or 1989-90 highs.
