By Laura Sperber – Legend Numismatics …… WOW, how time flew. The only good thing about April, we saw a glimmer of activity at Central States–a show that has been in serious decline for years. This past week we heard even more positives about the market. A friend called us to say he sold […]

By Laura Sperber – Legend Numismatics …… We’ve just spent the past two weeks jetting up and down the West Coast to do business with only a day to rest. The running around paid off, but we missed an apparently large amount of business from the office that we had to postpone until now. One […]

By Laura Sperber – Legend Numismatics …… It’s always frustrating when things are a bit slow on the web. However, we have been engaged in some serious projects all of a sudden that actually can be completed.

By Laura Sperber – Legend Numismatics …… No Sugar Coating Today’s Coin Market Anyone who tells you the coin market is on fire is either lying or wears rose-colored glasses.

By Laura Sperber – Legend Numismatics …… MARCH CAME IN LIKE A LION We are surprised that the strong wave of activity from January and February has remained unbroken.

By Laura Sperber – Legend Numismatics …… THE PHILADELPHIA PCGS INVITATIONAL We have only two complaints: #1 – We were not fans of the hotel, and #2 – Can PCGS hold these shows in Philadelphia more then once year? We deserve and want more! The show was everything we predicted it to be. BOTH […]

By Laura Sperber – Legend Numismatics …… STATUS QUO Can’t say anything dramatic is going on. We had a very good sales week. We’re becoming spoiled by so many people buying coins on a Saturday a few hours–or within minutes–of the NEWPS being posted. Last week, we sold nearly $180,000 from the web site by […]

By Laura Sperber – Legend Numismatics ……. Mid-July Report SUMMERTIME SLOW The summer doldrums are alive and well. Something we did not think about: our customer base apparently was watching our auction last week and held off buying from our web site.
