Greetings!
Silver prices have kept me hopping lately as I go through the agonizing task of evaluating which of the 10,600 coins on our site possess the numismatic value to top the value of the silver content. Merely pumping up the prices on Silver coins isn't the a universal option as the collector value doesn't bear an inflated price but maintaining collector prices on numismatic items can often be a nod to the melting pot for pieces of history. If you want to evaluate the difficulties I face then just peruse our stock of Silver Coins on the site and keep our U.S. & World Coins sections in mind, as many historic specimens fall under these classifications. As an escape from this task I'm focusing our newsletter this week on Gold Coins as Gold has not proved quite as much a roller-coaster ride as Silver has and we have plentiful offering of gold we can make. I've also put in a plug for our Irish Coins, in honor of upcoming St. Patrick's day, a Tasmanian Token that recently reappeared from our stacks and a wonderful BU series of World Wildlife Federation Medals. Please enjoy. All of us at Black Mountain Coins wish you as commodious a week as your wishes and needs allow. We remain at your service.  |

Every four years the nations of the world embrace one international event as the subject of some of their most distinguished efforts in the arts - the Olympic Games. The Olympics spur nations to put on show the best and their numismatic output reflects this. Numerous designs are struck in silver and other metals but their best designs can be found gracing coins of the most precious metals - particularly gold.
