This last year has been one for the books. The question now becomes does 2021 pick up where 2020 left off? The answer, we believe, is yes and no. The pandemic is still playing a role in our daily lives, and probably will continue to do so into the summer of this year. That will […]
We struggled with the title of this week’s Market Report. After all, is there really much to be Happy about? There is an old saying that when you’re given a bowl of lemons, make lemonade. We would like to think that’s precisely what happened this year. We know about all of the negatives, as we […]
As the mid-Atlantic United States gets ready to be hammered by a winter storm packing as much as a foot or more of snow, the above title seemed to not only be appropriate, but characterize the general flavor of this entire holiday season. The challenges that we face numismatically are by no means unique to […]
With the prospect of no coin shows until possibly February, we feel like we are back to square one. Thankfully, we have been down this road once before, so we’re not totally ill prepared for it. Coins continue to sell briskly, which puts increased pressure on keeping our shelves stocked. Presently, we have targeted needs […]
We were hoping the news would get better as we entered the holiday season of one of the strangest years ever. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case, as FUN officially announced the cancellation of their quintessential show which would have ushered in 2021. We are still waiting for the first national coin show to break the […]
Obviously, this year has been like no other. With all of the craziness and disruptions looming large, It would be silly to think that our holidays would be unaffected.

Does anybody else think this November just feels strange? Election night had President Trump as a 74% Vegas favorite. Six hours later, it was Senator Biden who was the Vegas favorite, and by about the same margin. And so it began… With spiking numbers of new COVID cases, and some Governors suggesting possible lockdowns for […]
P.A.N. proved yet again that coin shows can be relevant in a challenging environment. Most obvious at this show was the tremendous appetite of the wholesale community. Dealers from around the country converged on Monroeville with the intention of buying coins. Historically, this has not been the footprint of this show. Although the Pittsburgh area […]
This week’s P.A.N. show marks one of the larger coin venues to take place since the onset of the pandemic. Irrespective of conditions, this remains one of our favorite shows for several reasons. Most obviously, Pittsburgh and its metropolitan areas are a mere 2 hour drive for us, making this one of our closest and […]
It is easy to miss a week (or two) when you’re busy. Our customers serve as our best reminder that we haven’t been keeping them up to date on numismatic happenings. It actually has been over two weeks since we last posted a market update; we apologize. The coin market remains healthy bolstered by an […]
