| Greetings!
More new coins! I am always acquiring new coins, whether at shows, auctions, or from people offering them to me. For the list of "newps", please see the column to the right. To reserve a coin, please call me at (717)579-8238 or e-mail me at [email protected]. The sale I announced in February continues. I have reduced the prices on more coins. New coins have been priced based on the current market. As is our normal policy, we accept personal checks and money orders. Credit cards and PayPal are not accepted because their fees eat up too much of our profits. Please include $6 for shipping on every order. On orders over $500, our shipping costs us more than $6, but that's one of the ways we have decided to simplify our business.
I want to thank you for your business! Enjoy the summer!

THE CURRENT COIN MARKET
|
|
My take on the current coin market is as follows:
(1) Reports from dealers at Dalton, GA, Dulles, VA, and two local shows were mixed. I did better at the local shows than at the regional shows. Some of this appears to be because some collectors like to examine and think about buying a coin for a longer period of time than previously. Local shows where I have had tables many times included collectors who had seen some of the coins before, where the regional shows were shows I had not done before and the coins (and me!) were unfamiliar to them.
(2) Our sales volume continues to be acceptable, but the more expensive coins are selling much more slowly than previously. Certainly the economy is the big factor here.
(3) Auction prices seem to be much more variable. Super high-end coins still bring "moon money", but average and low-end coins either don't sell or sell for significantly less than previously.
(4) The Long Beach and Baltimore shows are likely to show these trends continuing. The August ANA show in L. A. should be big. |

Our next show is the Baltimore, MD show being held by Whitman at the Baltimore Convention Center, Halls A, B, and C on June 12 (Friday) and June 13 (Saturday). Note: We will NOT be attending the "optional" day of the Baltimore show (Sunday, June 14). If you get to the show, please stop by and see us! If you don't get to the show, check out our "newps" the following week.
