With the end of the year approaching, and the final allocations of year 2015 coins having been released, what better time is there than now to revisit the past mintages of all the America The Beautiful 5 oz. coins up to this point – uncirculated as well as bullion formats. Mintages for the bullion version […]
This year, China seems to be changing things up with it’s Silver and Gold Panda coins. In year’s past, both silver and gold Chinese Pandas were issued just like other sovereign coins – in weights of varying degrees of ounces. The standard-bearer was the 1 oz Silver Panda. The main differences from other coins such […]
As the year is winding down, the United States Mint has released their end of year production availability for multiple products. The most important however is for 2015 American Silver Eagles. The U.S. Mint has stated their final allocation for Silver Eagles will be Monday, December 14th. This means the final delivery of Silver Eagles […]
Give a Penny Take A Penny? Pennies are so disposable that we’re willing to give them away because we don’t want to be bothered with the feeling of them jingling around in our pockets. For years now, Americans have placed little value on the lowly little coin, and it’s beginning to catch up – to […]
The precious metals sector was confusing last week, with a mixed bag of performances and no clear pattern visible. The two big investment items, gold and silver, didn’t show a lot of movement. Neither did platinum, while palladium managed to rise. With the equities markets also rising quite strongly, propelled mostly by gains in defense […]
Silver Army Men! The perfect gift for the person who has everything. Everybody knows or has played with the ever-popular green plastic toy soldiers. For decades they’ve been a staple in homes across America. Now you can get your toy soldiers in pure .999 fine silver!
If you grew up in the United States in the second half of the 20th century then more than likely you’ve seen or even played with plastic toy soldiers. They were a staple in millions of American households and are a staple in 20th Century Americana history. They were sold by the millions and […]
Once again there were disappointing results right across the precious metals sector last week, although the scale of losses varied. Overall it was a worrying period, because metals managed to lose ground even though the equities markets fell heavily. Normally we’d have expected to see metals make a lot of ground in these market conditions, […]
There’s no question about it; last week wasn’t a good one for precious metals. Every benchmark across the sector fell with losses pushing past 5 percent for both gold and silver. Does this signal a collapse? We don’t think so just yet. Looking at other markets it looks like a general reluctance to invest was […]
In 1964, the Kennedy Half Dollar was minted to commemorate the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States. The coin was authorized by Congress to be minted in just over a month after his death – an extremely fast turnaround for a new coin to be introduced. The United States […]
If you have any background in coin collecting, you would probably know that for one year in 1943, the United States mint created pennies out of steel instead of their standard copper (there was a copper shortage during World War II). But what you might not know is that there were some steel pennies that […]
After some recent gains for precious metals last week was less impressive, with falling values right across the sector. In general the losses weren’t serious, though – enough to be noticed, not enough to signal a renewed slide in the market. Based on the performance of equities it was a normal investor response to climbing […]
For the past 6 weeks the U.S. Mint could not keep up with demand so the premium on Silver Eagles was inflated. This is why you saw dealers selling American Silver Eagles for close to $4 dollars over spot. The U.S. Mint has just released a large allotment and we’re offering these coins for […]
There was a definite decline in the precious metals sector last week, with most prices slightly down. That included the headline commodities, gold and silver, although performance in the platinum group was more mixed. The obvious reason for the fall in metals is a good week on the equities markets that saw the FTSE 100 […]
Whether you know it or not, there is a silver supply crunch in the industry right now. This is causing suppliers and distributors to charge higher premiums for silver that is immediately available. However, we’ve managed to secure several thousand ounces of lower priced silver rounds with a delayed shipping date. Take advantage of these lower […]
Coin collectors always have one eye on the bullion value of their coins and may also directly collect bullion in the form of gold, silver and platinum coins and bars. The last few weeks have been turbulent times indeed for all kinds of investors. Cryptocurrencies collapsed, and now seem to be reviving, thanks in part […]
