NumisMedia Weekly Market Report
Opportunities Abound with Lower Gold
November 16, 2015
The recent Whitman Baltimore Expo was supposed to be the best show of the year, but dealers reported some mixed results. While many thought the show was slow and retail was off from what they had expected, there were several dealers that considered the show to be extremely successful, and others reporting to have had a tremendous amount of retail business. Silver and Gold bullion lead the way for many of the dealers who had a successful show.
While sales were brisk for some dealers, there are many areas of the market that are being discounted. Low grade circulated semi-key date coins were selling at about 10% off of current values and even some of the better key dates have drifted somewhat lower. This is especially so for Lincoln Cents, Buffalo Nickels, Mercury Dimes and Walkers, although, once you get above the XF grade, mint marked early Walkers are still easy sellers and difficult to acquire.
The Baltimore Auction hosted by Stack's Bowers Galleries contained a variety of rarities that attracted collectors and dealers alike. The U.S. coins portion of the sale realized a little over $5 million. One of the more important coins in the sale was the 1879 $4 Gold Flowing Hair Stella in PCGS PR65+ that brought $188,000. While there are 44 coins certified in PR65 by both PCGS and NGC combined, there is only one that has qualified for the 65+ grade. There are an additional forty coins certified at higher grades.
High grade Proof Gold Indians are always a popular item when they come up for auction. In this sale, the 1914 $5 Gold Indian was highly sought after. It was graded PCGS PR67 with the CAC sticker of approval and the final sale price was $111,625. There are only eight in this grade with just four listed in PR68 by NGC.

The metals have fallen again and taken many prices to lower levels including a host of common date Gold coins in all grades. This week's HD Wholesale Market Dealer Price Guide reveals a tremendous number of declines throughout the U.S. Gold charts. The $5 through $20 denominations in Very Fine up through MS65 were hit the hardest, especially the common dates. Even some of the better dates in $20 Gold have suffered slight setbacks. However, there are several dates in the early $20's that are advancing; this is generally because they are few and far between. The 1850 O in AU53 moved up to $16,000 Market and the 1859 S in MS61 is higher at $13,500. We have also seen a few increases in the early $10 Gold series. The 1799 in MS62 is up to $39,500 Market and the 1801 in MS60 jumped to $24,500.
