The Reeded Edge Returns from Baltimore with Some New Purchases

We are back in the office from the four day Whitman Baltimore Convention.  The show was a solid one for us, as there were considerable opportunities to buy and sell coins all weekend.  In fact, we sold our last two coins as the show was closing up at 3:00 on Sunday.  It was a typical Summer Baltimore event, with a few less dealers attending and a bit lighter public attendance than the other two shows. 

However, those in attendance were there to buy and sell.  Gold of all types was in especially high demand, as well as 19th Century U.S. Type Coins in the $100-$2,000 range.  Collectors continue to seek out coins in mainstream series like Morgan Dollars, Indian Cents, Standing Liberty Quarters and Walking Liberty Halves.  Early Commemoratives are beginning to attract interest among budget minded collectors who are seeing the lower prices as a buying opportunity.    One should remember that the Summer Baltimore is still a fairly new show and seems to be gaining ground with each year.  Whitman has done an outstanding job promoting the show and we expect that it will continue to grow. 

We brought a number of new coins back with us from the show.  Among the highlights are an 1879-CC Morgan Dollar PCGS MS-63 in an older green holder, a 1909-S Indian Cent PCGS MS-64 RB, an 1830/29 Capped Bust Dime PCGS AU-53, an 1836 $5 Classic Head Gold Half Eagle NGC XF-40 and many more.  Be sure to browse the webstore and view all of our recent acquisitions. 

Thanks to those of you who stopped by Baltimore to say hello.

 

Feature Coin: 1935 Spanish Trail PCGS MS-65 PQ, Beautifully Toned

We recently purchased an amazing Spanish Trail Commemorative Half Dollar.  Graded MS-65 by PCGS, the coin displays a color overlay of soft reds, violets, blues & greens.  The coin retains cartwheel luster beneath the toning, something not entirely common on Spanish Trails.  Premium quality in all aspects, this coin is likely one small blemish away from grading MS-67.  If you like toned commems, or just eye appealing coins, you will like this one.  Click the link below to view this coin:

A Few Newer Purchases from The Reeded Edge

We made a few new purchases Friday in the office.  They include a yellow, gold and red toned 1878-CC Morgan $1 graded PCGS MS-64,  an 1880-CC Morgan $1 NGC MS-65 PL, an 1895-S Morgan $1 PCGS VF-30, a 1903-O PCGS MS-64 PQ and an 1863 FR #1285 25 Cent 2nd Issue Fractional Currency W/ Surcharge PMG AU-58.   There are some other new items that are on the webstore, so be sure to check out our NEW ITEMS PAGE.  Happy Hunting!

 

The Collector Reigns King!

The economy is still number one in most people’s minds. Obviously, we have tried to keep in tune with its impact on the coin market. With a year of the recession behind us, here is our read:

Some things haven’t changed. A great coin, when it comes to auction or offered in private treaty, will still garner an audience. Collectors are still pursuing coins for the right reasons. But, other things have changed, and some dramatically. The telemarketing/television campaigns on ultra-graded common and modern coins have caused a collapse of these two areas of the market. Program coins, touted by large firms as the wave of tomorrow have become the story of yesterday. Good examples are common-date $3.00 gold in MS-63 and MS-64 and common-date Type II $20.00 Liberty gold in MS-60 through MS-62. Some of these coins are trading at 50% of their highs just two years ago.

This is a hobby for enjoyment first and foremost. Coins still represent a storehouse of value for the investment-minded collector. But the second line of reasoning is a bi-product of the first, which is having fun. Rare coins, from a monetary standpoint, have appreciated over the long term, and will probably continue to do so. But, if you don’t enjoy the history and beauty of building a coin collection, then you shouldn’t be doing this. The knowledgeable collector who carefully and meticulously assembles a great set of coins will never have to worry about the value of his holdings. Over time, this has a way of taking care of itself. The enjoyment, pleasure and pride achieved through building a meaningful collection is priceless!
