Does the silver coin pass a magnification check? Although the methods listed above will usually enable you to rule out most fakes (especially the weight test,) sometimes close examination under a strong magnifier settles the matter. Look for silver plating that failed to fill into tiny spots and crevices. Look at the edge of the coin to see if the plating is visible where the rim meets the side; also look between the reeding. Sometimes just looking at the fields under 10x is enough to condemn the silver coin as a fake, because the fields may appear rough, or have spots of copper or other non-silver impurities.

Whether you are buying or selling coins, you can increase your advantage when dealing with coin dealers by understanding how things work behind the scenes. One of the biggest problems I see, as an observer of the coin collecting marketplace, is the wide gulf between what the average consumer expects from a coin dealer, and what the average coin dealer believes he should provide to the consumer. The majority of these differences boil down to trust. The average consumer thinks he can trust the coin dealer to give him an honest appraisal and pay a fair price for the coins he is selling. The average dealer feels it is right to pay the lowest price he can for the coins, to maximize his profit, and that it is up to the consumer to do his homework.

One of the biggest problems buying collectible gold coins is grading. Your idea of an MS65 may be different than the dealer's. Many coins have a huge gap in value between grades. Avoid the issue by buying only certified gold coins that have been graded by a third party grading service. Make sure that you only accept the major services (ANACS, NCG, PCGS, NCS, ICG) grading, there are some lesser known grading services whose grading may be suspect.

Krugerrands are the best known of all the modern one ounce gold bullion coins, and are more readily available in greater quantities and can generally be bought at lower prices than any other one ounce bullion coins. They are not especially attractive, when compared to sovereigns and they do not possess much in the way of historical interest. But what they do have is consistent high production quality and they are a cost effective way for small investors to buy gold.

Whatever method you try to clean a coin, it's best to test it on a non-valuable coin of similar metal first. That way if a certain method does have bad effects, you'll find out before you ruin a valuable coin. I discovered this much to my chagrin when cleaning a batch of 1943 steel pennies in an acid solution. I'll never know if it would have worked, because I had the pennies in a galvanized steel container and the acid, combined with the galvanization, fused the pennies into one worthless chunk.

Paul Hollis Brings $2.5 Million 1844-O Proof $10 "Home"

Sun, 12 Oct 2008 19:51:19 +0000

(New Orleans, Louisiana) – The 1844-O proof Eagle, a one-of-a-kind gold coin struck at the New Orleans Mint 164 years ago, has returned "home" to the Louisiana State Museum – Old U.S. Mint with the help of New Orleans coin dealer, Paul Hollis. 

The unique, $10 denomination gold piece apparently was specially struck as a presentation piece, and over the decades it's been in the famous coin collections of a former U.S. Treasury Secretary and an early 20th century Chicago beer baron.

It is certified by Numismatic Guaranty Corporation as Proof-65 Ultra Cameo, and now insured for $2.5 million for an upcoming exhibition.

In general, I highly prefer giving bullion coins as gifts for two main reasons. First, bullion is cheaper. I'm usually on a very limited gift budget and expensive rare coins are just not an option for me. Second, unless you are giving a gift to a seasoned coin collector, the average person will not know or deeply appreciate the difference between bullion and numismatics. In introducing someone to the world of gold, bullion is great. Moreover, many bullion coins these days such as American Eagles and Canadian Maple leafs are truly beautiful coins. Get a mint brand new bullion coin and you will be giving away a valuable and beautiful gift.

Gold bullion coins usually come in 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, 1/10 and 1/20 oz. sizes. Most countries have one design that remains constant each year; others have variations each year, and in most cases each coin is dated. A 1/10th oz bullion coin is about the same size as a U.S. dime. A 1 oz. gold bullion coin is about the size of a U.S. half dollar.

Another thing to remember, when looking through organized stock, is keeping the coins in the same order that the dealer has organized them in. Usually, U.S. coins will be in year order, with the individual Mint marks grouped together under each year. Sometimes dealers aren't too picky about the Mint marks as long as the years are in order. Whatever his filing system, always be respectful of this, and if you pull a coin out of the box to examine it, be sure you put it back in the proper place.

The Kangaroo gold coin was first produced in 1986. The Australian Gold Nugget/Kangaroo coin is one of the most popular coins created by the Perth Mint in Western Australia. Perhaps the most diverse of any nation's bullion coinage, the Gold Australian Nugget/Kangaroo is minted in eight different sizes from 1/20th of an ounce all the way up to 1-kilogram. The design on the reverse originally depicted natural Australian gold nuggets (example right), with different designs for various sizes. The design theme changed in 1989 to feature the most recognizable animal in Australia, the kangaroo (example above). For this reason, the coin is referred to both as an Australian Nugget and Kangaroo.

Buy the scarcest coin in the best condition that you can afford. Many collectible gold coins sell near the melt price of gold because there are more than enough around to cover demand. When gold increases or decreases in value, these coins will follow. But the higher the grade, the lower the population and demand will push up the price rather than just following the price of gold.

When you are planning to invest in gold, it would be wise to consult an investment consultant. He can help you match your investment goals with the right type of gold purchase. An investment firm can aid in making the right choice of gold investment products so as to hedge your portfolio. Gold bullion coins work well for those who want to capitalize on price movements of the precious metal. It is prudent to buy gold when its prices are low. But sometimes getting the right price may not be that easy. The same holds good for selling too. A buyer should not look at merely the price of the gold investment but its percentage over the gold price or the premium.

One big category of coin damage we see is from staple scratches. Much of this damage comes from staples that are not completely clinched. Normal staplers leave a curl of the staple rising above the surface. This piece of staple can easily scratch adjacent coins as the coin shifts in a box or is removed or inserted from the box. Flat clinch staplers fully compress the staple into the surface of the holder leaving nothing behind to damage other coins. We like the Max HD-50DF because it is full size and uses regular staples. Max also makes half strip and palm size versions for collectors that prefer a smaller stapler. All three staplers completely clinch the staple as part of the stapling proces

1840 $1,000 Bank of the United States notes: Any note with the serial number 8894 is a replica that was made in the 1960's for a promotional giveaway in cereal boxes. These replicas are essentially worthless. These replicas are made from yellowish-brown "antiqued" paper that is crisp and brittle to the touch. The genuine $1,000 Bank of the United States notes are printed on thin banknote paper that was originally white or cream colored. One supposes that if a genuine note with the serial number 8894 ever were to show up that it is likely to cause quite a stir among dealers and collectors who have grown weary of answering questions regarding this particular replica.

A popular form of cherrypicking in coin collecting is done at coin shows, when the cherrypicker carefully scrutinizes dealer stock, looking for die varieties that the dealer has overlooked. A more low-end form of coin show cherrypicking is searching through the pick bins and junk boxes trying to find coins that are worth substantially more than the dealer asking price.
