1986 American Silver Eagle Bullion Coin : History and Value

Leave a comment

 

1986 American Silver Eagle.

With the American Silver Eagle, the United States Enters the Bullion Coin Business

The American Silver Eagle is a one ounce silver bullion coin, produced by the United States Mint under the authority of the 1985 Liberty Coin Act (Public Law 99-61 – PDF Link).

Congress’s intent for producing the coin was born out of a desire to deplete the Federal Government’s massive silver stockpile, which at the time exceeded 139 million ounces.[1]The Liberty Coin Act called for the Mint to strike .999 fine silver coins measuring 40.6 millimeters in diameter and weighing 31.103 grams. The coin was to feature a design “symbolic of Liberty on the obverse side; and… of an eagle on the reverse side…”[2]

John Mercanti, the former Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint and designer of the American Silver Eagle reverse, says in his 2012 book American Silver Eagles: A Guide to the U.S. Bullion Coin Program that the coin’s obverse design (featuring Adolph Weinman’s “Walking Liberty”) was predetermined – although he didn’t know by whom.[3] Research published later established that the choice to use the Weinman design on the American Silver Eagle, as well as the Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle design on the American Gold Eagle, was made almost immediately as the Mint did not have a sufficient amount of time to develop designs from outside artists.

But even with the convenience of having a classic design ready to use, a series of technical challenges had to be overcome to get the coin to fully strike up, and by the time it was finally ready, 1986 was almost over. The first coins didn’t roll off the press until Secretary of the Treasury James Baker initiated Coin Press 105 at the United States Assay Office in San Francisco at a striking ceremony for the coin held on October 29, 1986.[4] A number of coins were struck for and by VIPs in attendance.

November sales totaled 1,400,000 pieces, and 3,696,000 American Silver Eagles were sold in December.[5]

1986-dated Eagles were produced in two finishes: a bullion strike, which bore no mintmark but was struck exclusively at the San Francisco Mint (a fact the numismatic community did not know until a 2020 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was fulfilled by the government, leading to a lengthy Coin World feature article by veteran journalist Paul Gilkes); and a Proof issue, which also was struck exclusively at San Francisco but did bear the ‘S’ mintmark.

The 1986 American Silver Eagle: A Popular Collector Coin and a Cautionary Tale of Vanishing Value

The American Silver Eagle is a bullion coin that is both widely held as a commodity and traded as a collectible. As a bullion play, American Silver Eagles from any date are seen as interchangeable. As a collectible, however, the first-year issue 1986 bullion strike is usually offered at a 15-30% premium over generic issues struck throughout the series’ 37-year run. This premium puts the 1986 issue on or near par with the scarcer bullion strike issues of 1995 and 1997.

With a mintage of 5,393,005 pieces, one should not confuse the 1986 American Silver Eagle with a scarce or rare coin. Pay a couple of dollars “numismatic premium” over spot for raw examples that come especially nice. Otherwise, pass.

Certified examples do carry a premium over raw ones and a very interesting story can be told about them.

To understand today’s pricing levels we must first take a step back and look at the certified Silver Eagle scene of 2013-2015.

Through the end of 2013, PCGS and NGC treated the 1986 American Silver Eagle (as well as other 1980s and early ’90s issues) differently. NGC owned a lion’s share of the market and represented in their census report bullion strikes in the grades MS69 and MS70. Some dates were tougher than others, but no dates were prohibitively rare.

PCGS took a different approach. While PCGS’ submission numbers for American Silver Eagles were lower, there were some dates where MS69 was the highest grade that submitters could reasonably expect to earn. So stingy was the PCGS policy pertaining to certifying MS70s that some dates had no MS70 coins, and others had MS70 populations in the single digits.

1986 was one of the latter dates, and for a time, the PCGS population of MS70 coins sat at just three.

In February 2013, Heritage Auctions sold one of those three PCGS MS70 coins for the brain-cracking sum of $21,150 USD. In the NGC white core holder, with a population of just over 1,200, the same coin would sell for about $775. The Heritage sale was not an outlier. Two years later, with the population still at three, GreatCollections sold another 1986 PCGS MS70 coin for $22,000.

Then something changed. In the summer of 2015, PCGS certified 30 Silver Eagles dated 1986 as MS70. The price level dropped to $5,000.

An insider bulk submitter told us on background at the time that the company was now giving out grades that it previously wouldn’t, and that this led to their company increasing the number of bulk submissions that they would give to PCGS. This is not to suggest the PCGS had told him that they would grade coins looser, just that his recent Monster Box submissions were netting a handful of valuable MS70 coins.

The 1986 Silver Eagle wasn’t the only conditional rarity date to see the impact of this seeming shift in direction.

While the service has never explicitly stated that it would not grade American Silver Eagles at 70, we believe that the milk spotting issue may have played a major factor in the company’s dearth of perfect coins.

We also observed, through cert number analysis, that several of the low-pop 70 issues saw the 70-graded coins come in groupings from a handful of submissions. For one date, half of all of the 70s came from one monster box and every coin in that Monster Box was represented after CoinWeek conducted a sequential cert number analysis.

Moving ahead to the present day, we see that PCGS MS70 Silver Eagles from 1986 have advanced to the point where NGC was in the fall of 2014. Current pop data published on PCGS CoinFacts shows 1,763 MS70s. CoinWeek’s market research puts the pricing level of these coins at between $750 and $800.

While we’re not in the habit of patting ourselves on the back when it comes to coin market analysis, we did predict a collapse in the 1986 MS70 price after the 2013 Heritage sale, writing that “[s]afer money could be probably be ‘invested’ elsewhere.” We held firm to that belief even when, in April 2015, GreatCollections sold another example for $22,000. We said the same thing about the record-breaking 1995-W American Silver Eagle, which we called a “burial coin” (the owner would be “buried” in it at that level).

Now that we see a sustainable yield for MS69 and MS70 coins from both services, we believe that prices for PCGS- and NGC-certified Silver Eagles will approach equilibrium. NGC maintains a clear lead on the number of submissions, due in large part to long-term relationships they have developed with major submitters of modern bullion material.

The 1986 American Silver Eagle and the Phantom “S” Mintmark Designation

Since the 2020 disclosure mentioned above that all Uncirculated strike American Silver Eagles came from the San Francisco Mint, the grading services have allowed submitters to market coins with the parenthetic “(S)” label. Coins in those holders are no different than the rest of the certified population. They do not warrant a special premium for the notation.

Design

Obverse:

Adolph A. Weinman’s Lady Liberty is depicted mid stride. She is seen as a full-body figure, dressed in a flowing gown, and draped with a large billowing American flag. She holds laurel and oak branches in her left hand that symbolize the civil and military glories of America, respectively. As Liberty strides confidently towards the rising sun, she also reaches out and presents a welcoming and open hand. So large is Lady Liberty that she is superimposed over the obverse legend “LIBERTY” ringing the obverse – in fact, she obscures half of the “BE” and almost the entire “R”. Above Liberty’s outstretched rear foot is IN GOD WE TRUST and below her is the date (1986).

The design bears a notable resemblance to sculptor Oscar Roty’s The Sower, a common image on French coins. Numismatist Roger Burdette posited in his book Renaissance of American Coinage (2007) that this was not a coincidence and while Adolph Weinman did not directly copy, he did derive significant inspiration from Roty’s work. Weinman’s Liberty Walking design quickly became one of America’s most iconic numismatic images and would be used with minor modifications on the American Silver Eagle bullion coin starting in 1986.

Reverse:

John Mercanti’s Heraldic Eagle is positioned at the center of the reverse. Clutched in its beak is a ribbon that bears the motto: E PLURIBUS UNUM. Above its head, is a constellation of thirteen stars configured in an upside-down pyramid formation. Wrapping around the design is the legend (top): UNITED STATES OF AMERICA; and the fineness and denomination (bottom): 1 OZ. FINE SILVER. ONE DOLLAR.

Edge:

The edge of the 1986 American Silver Eagle bullion coin is reeded.

Jim Bisognani: 2023 Coin Market Year in Review – Part 1

Leave a comment

Jim Bisognani Year in Review – NGC Weekly Market Report ……
Well, we’re only 10 days away from the night that the jolly old elf from the North will be circumnavigating the globe and spreading holiday cheer (I think that’s what he spreads). It also means that loved ones and friends only have a short time left to secure a wonderful numismatic gift for that special coindexter on their list (HINT!).

Gulp. Hey, there are only 17 little days left in 2023! That means it’s time for the 13th Annual NGC Jim Bisognani Year in Review!

Although I enjoy chatting with my fellow coindexters, collectors and dealers all year ‘round, I must admit that this annual review is the big enchilada. A lot of work goes into it. Everyone’s time is valuable, and I appreciate all of my contributors’ efforts. I realize that sometimes I can be a nudge, with my gentle prodding of my brethren for their learned responses. I appreciate their patience! Yet, it is worth it and has been great fun putting this review together for the past 13 years — wow, where has the time gone?

Now it is time to share the varying views from all those who make numismatics their treasured hobby or livelihood. So, without further hoopla, I proudly present the 13th Annual Bisognani NGC Coin Market Year in Review – Part 1.

What has been the biggest challenge for you and your business in 2023?

John Brush
David Lawrence Rare Coins President John Brush

John Brush – President, David Lawrence Rare Coins (DLRC)

2023 was a very challenging year for us. It was a very successful one as far as business goes, but we went through a lot of changes and adjustments this year that we’re not used to doing. We replaced our CFO, we ramped up our staffing due to the amount of coins we’ve been adding to our auctions, and our office had an electrical fire in August that displaced us for a month. Thankfully, no people or coins were affected, but our office was flooded from the sprinklers and it forced us to rethink our office layout, get new walls and floorings, and all of that incredibly difficult stuff that distracts us from coins. All in all, it was an awful month, but our office space is so much nicer now and we’re excited to have a fresh new look and a better layout for our business.

Brian Hodge – Partner, Lee Minshull Rare Coins (LMRC)

With the cost of borrowing money so high, it has become more difficult to stock higher-priced items for long periods of time. This has obviously been a factor in making large purchases.

James Sibley – Collector

As a collector, my biggest challenge this year has been submitting winning bids at the Heritage, Stack’s and Great Collections auctions. The post-pandemic price increases for the US coins I collect (19th century type and early 20th century rarities, preferably in Gem grade or better) have far exceeded my expectations. The dilemma is always “reaching” to win the lot vs. overpaying so much that it will take many years to recoup what I paid.

Jeff Garrett – Founder, Mid-American Rare Coin Galleries, Inc.

Without a doubt, finding fresh material for resale. I have been super lucky that a few cool things fell into my lap last year, most notably the Kentucky Gold Hoard. Finding a sufficient supply of new coins to meet the demand of my customer base is a continuing challenge. Rare coin prices were fairly stable this year and the incentive for sellers was less than in the recent past.

Jeff Kierstead – Owner, MintProducts Auctions

With expenses up across the board, keeping enough product coming in can be a challenge. We are fortunate to see our business still growing.

Bob Green – Owner, Park Avenue Numismatics

This year, explaining premiums for precious metals has been a little more difficult because of the amount of clients making purchases for personal use or precious metals IRAs. In addition, premiums for $20 gold pieces have fluctuated a tremendous amount and we have had to educate our clients on these changes.

Kevin Lipton – Owner, Kevin Lipton Rare Coins

I would say record gold prices with premiums lowering at the same time has been a bit of a challenge.

* * *

For the new numismatist on a limited budget, what series would be at practical entry point?

Kevin Lipton

A Silver Eagle set!

Bob Green


Bob Green

I think Silver Eagles are probably one of the nicer collections that can be started with a limited budget due to low silver prices, and they began in 1986 and continue each year. There are even some special issues that can be added at higher price points, but that could be a decision left up to the collector.

Dan Goevert – Rare Coins 101

I’m assuming by a “limited” budget, you mean a very limited budget; perhaps something appropriate for a youngster. I can make a couple of recommendations right off the bat:

Jefferson Nickels: It is still possible to complete a set of Jefferson Nickels plucked from circulation. There are still nickels from the early decades of the Jeffersons flowing in and out of cash registers and change counting machines. Even war nickels are waiting to be found in coin rolls!

State Quarters: The “50 State Quarters Program” was launched in 1999 to honor each of the 50 states and ran through 2008. Over the years, this initiative has drawn many new collectors into the hobby. With patience and diligent searching, every State Quarter album slot can be filled with coins that remain in circulation. Great fun on a low budget!

John Brush

I lean toward putting together some kind of type set. Maybe just 20th century, or 19th and 20th century. I love the variety of design types, the history behind them, the art and the options! Then you can figure out which series is best to focus on from there!

Jeff Kierstead

Indians and Lincolns Cents and Buffalo Nickels are a great place to start.

Christine Karstedt – Executive Vice President, Stack’s Bowers Galleries

Without a doubt, Morgan Dollars. The coins themselves are beautifully designed, significant in size, historically meaningful and are readily available in all grade and price ranges. The Morgan Dollar was produced in decades that saw dynamic changes in our nation, was struck at mints from coast to coast and saw its share of political intrigue. It remains the country’s most popular classic coin. A collecting budget can easily be established so that new acquisitions can be made regularly, important for maintaining the spark of interest in a new collector. It’s always fun to be adding something to the collection.

The series also has major rarities that can be acquired in much lower grades to “fill the hole,” but still give the buyer a great sense of accomplishment and pride when working toward completion. Q. David Bowers has produced a tremendous amount of information in several books on the subject. In fact, the first book he created in collaboration with Whitman Publishing was A Guide Book of Morgan Silver Dollars, now in its seventh edition. Having great reference material to study and enjoy adds to the pleasure of collecting and keeps interest high in between purchases.

A personal footnote: As a parent and now a grandparent, in my household the tooth fairy always brings a Silver Dollar to leave under the pillow along with other change!

Lianna Spurrier – Creative Director, Numismatic Marketing

There are plenty of easy answers — Wheat Pennies, Jefferson Nickels, etc. — but I’d like to suggest a Canadian type set. You’ll have to do some research to decide what you want to include, which will help you find some resources and get acquainted with researching numismatics. They’re easy to find on eBay if your budget is very low, but are familiar enough that you can find nicer examples on some of the larger coin-specific auction sites. In addition, a type set is always a good starting point to get a more varied taste of what’s out there. A US 20th-century type set would also be a good option, but I’m always an advocate for world coins.

James Sibley

For entry-level collectors, I suggest that they start with United States Mint products — Silver Eagles, Proof and/or Uncirculated sets. While the new collector probably won’t recoup their purchase price for a long time (if ever), the coins are beautiful and the cost is relatively low. If the modern issues are of no interest, there are a number of less-popular 19th-century series (think Two Cent pieces, Three Cent Nickels, and Shield Nickels) which, even in lower Proof grades, can be affordable.

Jeff Garrett

I love United States Silver Eagles. They have been produced since 1986 and completing a set is within the budget of most collectors. They are large and have one full ounce of silver. You can have fun collecting them with a side bullion play.

Brian Hodge

I started with Mercury Dimes. You can collect them for reasonably cheap, and there’s always the “grail” piece like the 1916-D that keeps you hunting and aiming higher when you finally earn your stripes.

* * *

Do you still attend all of the major coin shows on the calendar? Why or why not?

Christine Karstedt

Yes, I still enjoy attending all major coin shows. One of the most pleasurable aspects of my career is getting to personally know the amazing people who have been pillars in this hobby, whether they be dealers or collectors. And getting together at coin shows was and is a tremendous part of enjoying those ongoing relationships. I also like to meet in person those who are new to the hobby so I can provide encouragement or assistance as needed. All of us have busy lives in and out of work, but we make the time to attend these events because they are fun, and we get to share our enthusiasm with those who have the same interests. Nothing can replace the camaraderie of catching up and talking coins in such a dynamic numismatic environment.

Lianna Spurrier

I attend any shows where I have clients. I do media for the industry but don’t sell coins myself, so my show experience is quite different from that of a dealer; I spend shows running around to film different presentations or shoot videos on the show floor. In 2023, I attended NYINC, Central States, EAC, the ANA and winter Baltimore. The ANA is the only show I expect to attend every year.

Regardless of client work, it’s such a good networking opportunity, and even if I’m not doing any work at the show, I always end up talking to a lot of people. Any others are only worth the expense if I have a client covering part of travel costs. FUN is noticeably absent from that list. It was simply too close to NYINC this year, and even if I’m not attending NYINC, it’s too soon after the holidays for me unless I have a lot of clients. My dog is already stressed out from being shuttled around during Christmas — he might just melt into a puddle of anxiety if I tried to send him to the dog sitter right after!

John Brush

Yes, we attend all of the major shows. There are fewer major shows than there used to be, but we do so for several reasons:

  • The relationships we have with fellow dealers and collectors
  • To support the DLRC brand in various places throughout the country
  • To purchase coins and other inventory items
  • To further the educational mission of our hobby

James Sibley

As a collector, I only attend shows close to home (the Houston Money Show and the Texas Numismatic Association’s annual show). Frankly, the convenience of the major auctions has spoiled me — why spend a thousand dollars or more flying to a far-fetched show when I can buy coins from my desktop, especially if I have someone at the auction house I trust to look at the coin in-hand (thank you Mark Feld, Vicken Yegparian, and Ian Russell!)?

Jeff Kierstead

I attend about half the shows I did back in the 1980s and ’90s. There are a few reasons for this, but the main reason is that with the amount of business being done on the internet, it’s just not necessary.

Bob Green

For me, personally, I took a hiatus when my son Samuel was born in July and dedicated my time to being a father. My staff attends all major shows and I will start in 2024. I’ve missed the grind, but it has been so worth it for me personally.

Kevin Lipton

Kevin Lipton
Kevin Lipton

I do not. I am down to FUN, Central States, and the Summer ANA. Our business is mostly generated from the office. We do coin shows to “meet and greet” our best clients.

Jeff Garrett

I still attend every major show and a lot of the regional shows. As mentioned above, finding fresh material is a lot of work and attendance at these shows is vital. Being seen and considered when something new shows up is part of my business plan. Plus, I truly enjoy coins shows. I’m lucky in that my wife, Mary Lynn, enjoys going with me to most shows.

Brian Hodge

No. I can get most of what I need to do at a coin show done on my cell phone or computer. Most new dealer purchases I can find out about right before the show. Shows for me have now just become meet-and-greet opportunities or a chance to have dinner with customers and dealers.

Jolly Ol’ Saint Nick’s gnome friends have granted you a round-trip passage back to the year of your birth. You have 24 hours and $100 to spend. What coins or other collectibles will you try to locate and bring back to the present?

John Brush

1980: Man, that’s a boring year. And $100 wouldn’t buy me much silver. I’d probably try to find some early Lincoln and Jefferson Nickel rolls that I could buy cheaply and submit for grading in 2023.

Bob Green

I would buy as many $20 gold pieces as I could!

Jeff Kierstead

With the simplified grading back then (1960), I would try and cherry-pick as many superb red copper coins (probably Indian Cents) that I could.

Dan Goevert

For me, the gnomes would have to navigate their time-travelling vessel back to 1959, when dinosaurs still roamed the Earth! Like many collectors, I would seek out a highly prized coin of today that was undervalued and affordable back then. Starting with the BEST group on the Key Date List of Recommendations, I found a wonderful coin that does the trick — the 1870-CC Coronet $10 Eagle. Per the Red Book, in 1959 I could have purchased an example of this Carson City rarity in About Uncirculated for just under $100, presuming I could find one for sale in the 24-hour excursion.

Currently, Coin World estimates the retail value of the 1870-CC $10 Eagle in About Uncirculated condition to be somewhere around $250,000. If the gnomes had let me keep this coin, my $100 investment would have grown in value at an annual compounded rate of 13%. Incredible!

James Sibley

As many high-condition Fugios as $100 would buy.

Kevin Lipton

1959. I am gonna find a contemporary artist like Andy Warhol whose painting would be worth a million bucks today!

Jeff Garrett

1958: I would visit the offices of B. Max Mehl in Texas and look for ultra Gem coins that he has no idea will be worth a fortune someday.

Brian Hodge

It wasn’t a very eventful year for coins, so perhaps a couple Proof sets and some Ronald Reagan memorabilia.

* * *

Enjoy the holiday, my friends! I’ll be back next time with part two of the 13th Annual Bisognani Year in Review.

Until next time, be safe, happy holidays and happy collecting!

United States 1965 Lincoln Cent

Leave a comment

United States 1965 Lincoln Cent

To collectors of U.S. coins, 1965 was an epoch in the history of the American monetary system. A coinage shortage and the rise of silver bullion prices begot a new clad composition for the dime and quarter, reduced the half dollar’s composition to silver billon, and doomed an effort to reintroduce the silver dollar.

But things were not quite so cut and dry as that and the United States Mint’s efforts to dissuade the American public from hoarding coins unfairly blamed collectors and tarnished the coin collecting hobby.

The Date Freeze

Under the direction of Mint Director Eva Adams, the U.S. mint continued to strike coins dated 1964 through 1966. This order…

Nickels, quarters, and half dollars dated 1964 were struck in large quantities in 1964 and 1965, and dimes were struck in large quantities in 1964, 1965, and 1966. In 1965, clad quarters and dimes entered production. Circulation quality 1965 silver-clad half dollars would not…

The Market for 1965 Cents

1965 cents continue to circulate, although typical pieces found in pocket change will by in conditions Very Fine and below. The occasional Extra Fine or About Uncirculated example will reveal itself, most likely after an old accumulation of cents is emptied from a large jar of coins and deposited at a bank or at a CoinStar machine.

In numismatic channels, it is not at all difficult to acquire an uncirculated 1965 cent as large numbers of coins were saved in rolls and bags over the years. Notionally, an uncirculated 1965 cent will cost about $1 to $1.50. Beware of Special Mint Set coins masquerading as business strikes. Professional dealers know the difference, but the person listing the coin online or selling at your local store may not have paid too close

PCGS CoinFacts posts a price guide value of $8,000 for the sole 1980 cent. This appears to be a speculative price as there is no auction data to support this price. Given the approximately graded population of seven MS67+ cents in the PCGS population report, we believe that the 1980 Lincoln Cent in MS68RD guide price of $8,000 is high.

Design

Obverse:

The obverse of the 1965 Lincoln cent was designed by Victor David Brenner and appears largely as it did when the type was first minted in 1909. The main difference between the 1965 obverse and the 1909 version is the location of Brenners’ initials, V.D.B., which were added under President Abraham Lincoln’s bust in 1918 after their removal from the reverse in late 1909. The date 1965 appears to the right of Lincoln (viewer’s right), and the motto IN GOD WE TRUST appears above the president. On the left of the central motif is the word LIBERTY.

Reverse:

Frank Gasparro designed the 1959 Lincoln Memorial reverse that replaced the original 1909 Brenner wheat stalk design (the Wheat Cent). Gasparro’s initials FG appear on the lower-right side of the Lincoln Memorial. Below the edifice and along the rim are the words ONE CENT, while the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA run along the top half of the reverse along the rim. Between the top of the Lincoln Memorial and UNITED STATES OF AMERICA inscription is the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM.

Edge:

The edge of the 1965 Lincoln Cent is smooth or plain and without reeding, as are all other Lincoln cents.

1965 Lincoln Cent Designer(s)

Lithuanian-born coin designer Victor David Brenner is best known for his iconic design for the Lincoln cent (1909-Present) (View Designer’s Profile). Frank Gasparro was an American medalist and coin designer (View Designer’s Profile).

Collecting 20th-Century Mexican Coins

Leave a comment

By Cory Frampton – Mexican Coin Company/World Numismatics LLC ……
 

While collecting 20th-century Mexican coins has stagnated somewhat since its peak in the 1960s (at least in the United States), this intriguing field of numismatics still has a lot of promise. There were probably 10 times as many American collectors in the ’60s and ’70s as there are today, mostly due to the demise of Whitman and Dansco coin albums. It was popular in the mid to late 20th century to collect Mexican coins by type or date in an effort to fill up those albums. At that time, not many people were grade conscious and simply attempted to fill the albums with decent-looking coins.

Unfortunately, those VF to AU coins are worth about the same today as they were all those years ago. However, the few collectors who were grade-conscious were richly rewarded. Coins that grade MS65 today sold for slight premiums over their average uncirculated counterparts at that time. It was not until the late 1990s that high-grade, relatively common coins started to bring big premiums.

mexican coinsToday, grading is everything. Slabbing coins became more common in the late ’90s and is now standard practice. The phenomenon of registry sets furthered a market condition whereby a lot of 20th-century Mexican coins that grade below MS63 are deeply discounted and difficult to sell today.

All of these events contributed to changing the 20th-century coinage of Mexico from one of the most collected to one of the weakest market segments. There are definitely exceptions, however, and with the bad news comes a great deal of potential. Approached with some thought, we believe this segment of the Mexican market holds great potential for individuals who are patient and collect with a view toward the long term.

The following are some of our thoughts on several individual areas of 20th-century coinage.

Late Republic Centavos (1899-1905)

This area is still slow in AU and below except for the rare dates. However, in recent years we have seen record prices for the highest graded coins and there is a lot of interest. Better date coins graded MS63 and up are bringing significant premiums over catalog.

Bronze Issues of 1, 2, 5, 10 and 20 Centavos (1905-1935)

Aside from rarities like the 1922 2 centavo and the 1931 5 centavo, this part of the Mexican coin market is pretty much dead below MS63. Examples in MS63 are selling for around two-thirds of catalog uncirculated prices and sell slowly. Coins in MS65 with good eye appeal are saleable at catalog values or higher. We think high-grade, nicely toned coins with good eye appeal are scarcer than people believe and are good value long term. We especially like coins that are a pretty gunmetal color or are full red. With some patience, a set of these in MS65 can be put together at reasonable prices, with the exception of the few really rare dates.

Silver Cap and Ray Issues – 10, 20, 50 Centavos and 1 Peso (1905 Onward)

This segment is much more active, like it should be. Again, with the exception of the rare dates, you can put together a set of these graded MS64 or better at reasonable prices and they are very attractive coins. Catalog prices are both too high and too low. For instance, the 1919 peso catalogs at $950 in uncirculated. We have sold a couple of MS62 pieces in recent years in the $350 range. On the other hand, the 1918 priced in the catalog at $2,500 BU is about right with Gems bringing more. The 1908 50 centavo catalogs at $650 in BU but is bringing closer to $2,000 in Gem.

Caballito Pesos

This segment of the market is very strong in high grade. There are a number of collectors looking for all dates in Gem and prices are rising. Coins in MS65 are bringing well above catalog BU.

Gold Coins – 2, 2.5, 5, 10, 20 and 50 Pesos (1905-1959)

The market for the lower end of this series (2-10 pesos) is active but not nearly as strong as the 20 and 50 peso segments. The 20 peso series is a lot harder to put together in MS65 than most people think. I know of a number of sets of 50 pesos in MS65 or better; I do not know of a complete set of 20 pesos in MS65. The 50 peso market is fixated on grades from MS65 and up. These Mexican coins sell quickly in the early dates. Coins dated from 1943 to 1947 in MS65 are common. You can put together a set of MS64 coins pretty reasonably.

The Red Book Changes Hands: Jeff Garrett

2024 Red Book

By Jeff Garrett for Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) ……
Jeff Garrett, Courtesy Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC)About two weeks ago, the numismatic world was stunned to hear the announcement of the sale of Whitman Publishing to CDN (Coin Dealer Newsletter, publisher of the Greysheet). Whitman has been serving the numismatic community since 1947, and its history closely mirrors the evolution of the hobby through the decades. A huge number of serious collectors started out by filling a Whitman album in their youth. My own numismatic journey started in 1969, with a Whitman Lincoln Cent folder for coins 1941 to date.

Since 2003, when the Anderson family purchased Whitman Publishing, they have greatly expanded the number of specialty numismatic books for United States and World coins. They have published hundreds of titles, of which many have been widely acclaimed and award-winning. Their prodigious output has meant a boon of information for modern collectors and has undoubtedly stimulated the rare coin market over the last two decades.

Several years ago, after being sold to its current owners, the long-running Coin Dealer Newsletter (the Greysheet) went through a radical restructure and update. They decided to eliminate the weekly sheets of years past and publish magazines: one for retail pricing and another with the standard wholesale prices they have published for decades. The new formats have been well received and the current form of the Greysheet is greatly improved, with vastly more pricing information. The Greysheet has transformed from a simple weekly flyer to a suite of numismatic publications. CDN has also invested considerably to develop an internet strategy.

The Guide Book of United States Coins (the Red Book) is the crown jewel of Whitman Publishing. It is by far the most widely distributed numismatic book and is available in bookstores around the country. Nearly everyone starts collecting coins starts with a Red Book in hand. Its basic information about numismatics is vital to anyone new to the hobby.

I have been the Senior Editor of the Red Book since 2019; however, my involvement with the Red Book dates back another decade before that, when I started helping Ken Bressett with the annual pricing. His mentorship has prepared me for the role as caretaker of one of the most important brands in the hobby.

Although surprised by the announcement, I am excited to see what the next chapter brings for Whitman Publishing. In an ever-changing world, even the most iconic brands need to adapt to remain relevant. It will be thrilling to see what new tools and ideas CDN can bring to the table for the Red Book and its dozens of other products and brands. Information is one of the most impactful elements in the hobby today and, together, Whitman and CDN have become the new powerhouse for numismatic information.

There is a long history of information impacting the hobby. Some of the oldest rare coin price guides for U.S. coins began in the mid to late 1800s. There was a boom of collector interest in U.S. coinage when the United States Mint stopped making Large Cents. A few of the greatest collections ever assembled were started at this time. Over the generations, rare coin price guides changed very little. Slowly, conditions became more of a factor in pricing, but with only one or two grades listed for most coins.

In late 1946, the first edition of A Guide Book of United States Coins was published. This became the bible of numismatic pricing for the next 75 years or so. I remember times in the 1970s when dealers would not price coins in inventory until the latest edition of the Red Book was distributed. Most of my early knowledge of rare coins came from memorizing as much as possible of the Red Book.

We now live in the information age, and coin collectors have been a huge beneficiary of this new trend. Because of the many price guides, auction records, and population information, the hobby is now more transparent than ever before. In my opinion, this has been one of the biggest drivers for increased collector demand in the last 20 years.

Regardless of their budget, collectors want accurate pricing information before making a purchase. This may sound simple, but I can assure you it is not. For one thing, rare coins are not commodities. Nearly every rare coin is different in appearance – even in the exact same grade. We have discussed this many times over the years. Eye appeal and general appearance can greatly impact the value of a coin. This is very hard to convey in price guides.

Most price guides list prices for the imaginary “average” coin for the grade. Therefore, actual coins can trade over a wide price range based on appearance. This can be easily observed by attending any major rare coin auction.

There is also much discussion about what constitutes wholesale and retail prices for rare coins. Many have a hard time defining the term “retail”. Because of the abundance of pricing information available to most retail collectors, the standard markups of times past are hard to sustain for many retail companies. I can safely state that there has been a huge blurring of the line between what is wholesale and what is retail in today’s marketplace.

Many consider price guides to be a problem for the hobby, and I have heard dealers complain about too much information being available to collectors. In my opinion, it is not much different than the pricing pressures nearly every retail company in the United States faces. Consumers can price-shop with a few clicks of their phone for everything from socks to automobiles. In the long run, this transparency will greatly increase volume for many players, but profit margins will continue to be squeezed. Rare coin consumers are the winner.

There are now more tools than ever for the average or advanced collector. With the purchase of Whitman Publishing (and therefore the Red Book) by CDN, there will be new and improved pricing information available to collectors at all levels. Because of the resources being devoted to numismatic information, now is the best time in the history of the hobby for collectors to buy coins at the lowest possible markup. Be sure to use the information you now have available to your fullest advantage.

On October 1, at 07:08:09 PM Pacific Time, GreatCollections sold a CACG-graded MS-66 1905 Lewis & Clark Commemorative Gold Dollar coin for $18,356.80 USD. Three seconds earlier, at 07:08:06 PM Pacific Time, GreatCollections had sold a PCGS-graded 1905 Lewis & Clark One Dollar Gold coin, without a CAC sticker, for $7,052.62.

2. 1923 Peace Dollar in MS-67

On May 5, Heritage auctioned a different PCGS-graded MS-67 1923 dollar, without a CAC sticker, for $4,080.

Although CAC has been affixing stickers to acceptable PCGS- or NGC-graded coins since 2007, the CACG grading service, with its own CACG holders, is new in 2023.

3. 1942-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar in MS-67

On Oct. 22, GreatCollections sold a CACG-graded MS-65 1911-D $20 Double Eagle gold coin for $4,400. On July 21, Heritage sold a PCGS-graded MS-65 1911-D, without a CAC sticker, for $2,880. On February 9, Heritage sold a different PCGS-graded MS-65 1911-D, without a CAC sticker, for $3,360.

On Oct. 22, GreatCollections sold a CACG-graded MS-66 Maryland Tercentenary Commemorative Half Dollar for $429.

CAC-graded coins were encapsulated in the new CAC office in Virginia and are in new CACG holders. CAC-approved coins are in PCGS or NGC holders with CAC stickers. From now on, CAC-graded coins will be referred to as CACG. On July 24, Heritage sold four PCGS-graded MS-66 Maryland half dollars, not one of which had a CAC sticker, for $252, $228, $228, and $222, respectively.

A CACG-certified MS-66 coin thus brought twice as much as each of four different PCGS graded MS-66 Maryland commemorative halves.

8. 1908-S $5 Half Eagle in AU-58

On Oct. 18, Heritage auctioned a CAC-approved, NGC-graded AU-58 1908-S $5 Half Eagle gold coin for $4,440. On May 10, Stack’s Bowers sold a PCGS-graded AU-58 1908-S, without a CAC sticker, for $3,120.

9. 1893 Isabella Commemorative Quarter in MS-65

On Oct. 9, Heritage sold a CAC-approved MS-65 grade 1893 Isabella quarter for $2,100. On Oct. 18, Heritage sold a PCGS-graded MS-65 1893 Isabella quarter, without a CAC sticker, for $810.

10. 1900 Lafayette Commemorative Dollar in MS-63

A Golden Opportunity for U.S. Gold Coins: Jeff Garrett

Leave a comment

Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle Gold Coins.

By Jeff Garrett for Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) ……
Jeff Garrett, Courtesy Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC)In the last few weeks, gold has finally started to move in a positive direction as it briefly topped $2,000 USD for the first time in months. Tensions over global conflicts have once again made gold look attractive as a safety play. Almost daily we have clients calling and asking about how to buy gold to protect their assets. It will only take one headline crisis for gold to move to the next level.

The most immediate effect of the recent gold rise has been an upsurge in coin shipments. I would also guess that companies with a strong web presence that are devoted to bullion have also seen an increase in business. Many dealers whom I have contacted have bought much more than they have been selling. That is one of the reasons that the premiums for bullion-related objects are near recent lows.

This oversupply is also playing out in the rare and nearly rare coin market. Generic date, common issues of United States gold coins are selling for very low premiums once again. Much of this surplus is fueled by an avalanche of pre-1933 gold coins flowing back to the U.S. from Europe. During the Great Depression (1929-39) and before, large quantities of American gold coins were shipped to Europe as a standard course of international trade. No one really knew how much U.S. gold remained lurking in the vaults of European banks and other financial institutions.

Starting in the 1950s, some coin dealers began to repatriate these coins at a slow but steady pace. In the ’60s and ’70s, some previously rare-dated $20 double eagles appeared in these European shipments. Mega-rarities like the 1924-D, the 1925-D, and the 1926-S were found in quantity. A great narrative of this time period can be found in the seminal books on United States gold coins by David W. Akers that were first published in the 1970s. Akers knew much of this information firsthand, as he had handled many of these mini-hoards.

Many of the largest dealers of the day participated in this release of gold coins back into the domestic market. For years, that market has been orderly, with premiums changing based on the supply-and-demand issues of the day. In 1999, the premium for U.S. gold coins surged as citizens around the world prepared for the Y2K crisis that never materialized. There have been other ups and downs over the years, but gold coins have been a steady favorite of investors and those serving that clientele.

Today, the rare coin market is being faced with an unprecedented quantity of gold coins. These coins have been quietly entering the market for some time, but in the last few years some retailers have been loudly touting this newfound supply of U.S. gold coinage. At least one cable TV show has invested in a high-quality presentation featuring the story of these gold coins, and how they found their way to Europe for the last 100 years or more. Other retail operations have been running newspaper ads and selling by direct mail.

By now you are probably thinking that this part of the market should be avoided due to oversupply. I urge you to consider otherwise. There has never been a better time to start a collection of United States gold coins. Premiums for most double eagles, other than scarce or rare issues, have been crushed in the last year or so.

There is also a lot of market uncertainty due to the fact that no one really knows what is in the recent flows coming from Europe. A few of the major players have an idea, but I doubt any one person or group knows the full extent of what exists in these foreign holdings. Markets hate uncertainty, and that is one of the reasons prices have fallen so much. In time, this will be resolved as the coins are absorbed and more information becomes clear to researchers and collectors.

The knee-jerk reaction of most collectors and dealers is to fear large quantities of coins when they enter the market. Several years ago, when I handled the 16,000 coins in the New York Bank Hoard of Treasury-released silver dollars, I was asked by several dealers if this would kill the market for Morgan dollars. These individuals far underestimate the size of the market for rare coins. Those coins were sold to one company that sold every coin for retail, and the market was unaffected.

Going back decades, the same fears were felt when the Redfield Hoard of silver dollars entered the market. That hoard contained over 400,000 silver dollars, many of which were rare dates. The coins were expertly marketed, and prices actually rose based on the number of new collectors that were attracted to the hobby by the fascinating story of LaVere Redfield and his silver dollars. It should also be remembered that the GSA Hoard of Carson City Morgan dollars contained over 2.5 million coins, and these have now been fully dispersed and are widely collected.

The same opportunity awaits those interested in American gold coins, particularly double eagles. Savvy collectors and investors should take advantage of this market uncertainty and amazingly low prices. Many collectors are probably unaware of how many date and mintmark combinations of double dagles can be purchased for very little over the melt value.

The following is a list of 125 double eagles that can be purchased for less than $2,500 in About Uncirculated or Mint State:

1851, 1852, 1853, 1855, 1855-S, 1856, 1856-S, 1857, 1857-S, 1858-S, 1859-S, 1860, 1860-S, 1861, 1861-S, 1864-S, 1865-S, 1866 With Motto, 1866-S With Motto, 1867, 1867-S, 1868-S, 1869, 1869-S, 1870, 1870-S, 1871, 1871-S, 1872, 1872-S, 1873 Close 3, 1873 Open 3, 1873-S Close 3, 1873-S Open 3, 1874, 1874-S, 1875, 1875-S, 1876, 1876-S, 1877, 1877-S, 1878, 1878-S, 1879, 1879-S, 1880, 1880-S, 1881-S, 1882-S, 1883-S, 1884-S, 1885-S, 1887-S, 1888, 1888-S, 1889, 1889-S, 1890, 1890-S, 1891-S, 1892-S, 1893, 1893-S, 1894, 1894-S, 1895, 1895-S, 1896, 1896-S, 1897, 1897-S, 1898, 1898-S, 1899, 1899-S, 1900, 1900-S, 1901, 1901-S, 1902, 1902-S, 1903, 1903-S, 1904, 1904-S, 1905, 1905-S, 1906, 1906-D, 1906-S, 1907, 1907 Arabic Numerals, 1907-D, 1907-S, 1908 No Motto, 1908 With Motto, 1908-D No Motto, 1908-D With Motto, 1909, 1909-S, 1910, 1910-D, 1910-S, 1911, 1911-D, 1911-S, 1912, 1913, 1913-D, 1914, 1914-D, 1914-S, 1915, 1915-S, 1916-S, 1920, 1922, 1923, 1923-D, 1924, 1925, 1926, 1927, 1928

For those who find the starting price a bit high for double eagles, you might consider $5 half eagle and $10 eagle gold coins. Most groups of European gold have never contained the smaller denominations (Gold Dollars and $2.50 quarter eagles). The above mentioned, however, are often seen in quantity. There are dozens of dates for beginner collectors to choose from, and starting a set of these has never been more affordable in relation to gold.

The most recent groups of gold have also contained some interesting coins starting in the 1840s. Nearly every United States Mint (with the exception of Dahlonega and Charlotte) that produced gold coins is represented as well, including Carson City and New Orleans. The majority of the coins I have seen have also been fresh and original. The collector-driven market for originality makes these particularly appealing.

Someday soon the dispersal of European gold will be over, and this golden opportunity will have passed. As value investor Warren Buffett has been quoted as saying, “Attempt to be fearful when others are greedy, and to be greedy only when others are fearful.” In my opinion, this wisdom holds just as true in numismatics as it does in the stock market.

United States 1972-P Roosevelt Dime

Leave a comment

As the Roosevelt dime entered production in 1972, the design had served its statutorily-mandated minimum service life of 25 years. The four-term president was a fitting choice to replace Weinman’s Winged Liberty design in 1946, and sentiment about the longest-serving U.S. president remained high as the generation he led through the Great Depression and World […]

Demand for Collector Coins Holds Strong

Leave a comment

The demand for both collectible and intrinsically impacted coins doesn’t seem to be pausing, even to come up for air. While there have been recent gyrations in the spot price of gold, silver and yes, even copper, none of this appears to be slowing the demand for collectible coins, which for the most part continues to outstrip supplies. This isn’t just the market for bullion American Eagle coins, but the demand continues for the new Mint issues, for 1964 and earlier circulation strike gold and silver coins, and just about anything collectible

Volatility in Bullion Market

Leave a comment

The market for coins is not singular. For that reason, different sectors of this market may move in different directions, which is what has been experienced within the past month. Values and prices realized in the scarce to rare market segment have continued to rise, in part due to an expansion in the amount of discretionary money chasing these coins and in part due to an increase in the supply of scarce to rare coins becoming available for sale

Buyers of physical gold and silver during the 2020 “Gold Rush” should be wary of potential counterfeits in the marketplace, mistaking plated “gold coins” for bullion products, and avoid overpaying for any purchases, cautions the Accredited Precious Metals Dealers division of the Professional Numismatists Guild in a July 31 advisory.

Keys to Collecting the Buffalo Nickel and Other Nickels

By Bullion Shark LLC …… The five-cent coin was born in the aftermath of the Civil War when copper, silver and gold coinage had been hoarded.

The business of coins is proving to be surprisingly resilient in comparison to much of the non-essential business market during this period of the coronavirus pandemic. Despite that observation, there are still two sides to the coin story.
Collectors and investors looking to buy gold and silver coins as a hedge against the recent declines in the stock market are finding premiums for bullion impacted coins to be much higher than might be expected under normal circumstances

Coronavirus Fears Boost Spot Price of Gold

Leave a comment

The soaring price of gold coupled with an increasing number of significantly rare and expensive coins appearing in recent auctions bode well for the near-future business of coins.
While a strong stock market offers discretionary money, with which to encourage diversification through buying collectibles as hard assets, fears such as those due to the economic impact of the coronavirus are boosting the spot price of gold. Bullion and heavily bullion-impacted silver and especially gold coins are drawing a lot of interest from investors, likely for this reason

Auction Fever on the Rise

The same question of the extent of market participation and who is participating in the market that is being asked of stock market investors should be asked of those individuals fancying themselves as coin investors rather than serious collectors. Anything that can be considered scarce to rare or has been certified to be of unusually high grade has a higher probability of being offered in an auction rather than over-the-counter in the current market.
Auction fever is increasing, with spirited bidding and strong prices being realized
