NumisMedia Weekly Market Report
Is the Rare Coin Market Cycling Upward?
August 15, 2016
With two major official auctions at the ANA World's Fair of Money, one hosted by Heritage Auctions and the other by Stack's Bowers Galleries, there were some terrific rarities that found new homes. One of the featured coins in the Stack's Bowers Galleries Rarities Sale was an 1860 $20 Gold Liberty graded PCGS MS65 that included the CAC approval. It is the single highest graded coin for this date. We previously listed a Market price of $65,000; it realized a phenomenal $141,000.

We will take a more in-depth look at the prices realized from both auctions in the September FMV Monthly article.
With the ANA World's Fair of Money completed and the summer winding down, dealers and collectors can now concentrate on their regular buying habits. Bullion-related coins have been the main focus of collectors and investors for quite some time, but the market seems to be cycling back to rare coins as buyers are looking for better coins in all denominations. Price is still a focal point but demand looks much better than in previous months.
While the metals have fallen in the last week, dealers were expecting more sales in bullion coins, but that wasn't necessarily the case at the ANA. Even generic U.S. Gold is sporting some tight premiums as it competes for investment money. MS63 Saints have been offered at just 6% over melt which makes them very competitive against modern Gold Eagles. From a numismatic standpoint, these would make a lot of sense especially when the market turns, as it always does, and the premiums stretch out once again.
