Gold Springs Into Proit Mode

Stock Market Volatility Underscores Precious Metals Role

G
old closed 2018 at its highest
price since June 15th, moving
in the opposite direction of
stocks, which fell the most
of any December since 1931. During the
fourth quarter, the S&P 500 lost 14% while
gold gained 8%.
During the month of December, gold
rose $65 an ounce (+5.4%) while the S&P
500 fell 9.2%. As of September 30, 2018,
the S&P 500 was up 9% for the year,
while gold was down 8.4%. heir roles
later reversed, however, with gold gaining
8.1% versus declines in stocks ranging
from -11.8% (Dow Jones) to -17.5%
(NASDAQ).
he brightest side of gold’s performance
story in 2018 is in terms of other cur-
rencies. Most foreign stock markets have
fallen further than the U.S. stock market,
and gold is up in most foreign currencies.
he U.S. dollar was up about 5% in 2018,
sending most commodities down in dollar
terms. With gold down 1% in dollar terms,
that means it averaged about +4% in terms
of the euro and most other currencies. It
gained double-digit percentages against
troubled emerging market currencies,
such as the Turkish lira or Argentine peso.
Nothing gained much in 2018 except some
less widely held metals such as rhodium
and palladium. Bitcoin lost 71.4%.
Barron’s “Commodities Corner” column
covered silver in December. Author
Myra Saefong says silver now “deserves a
second look” since “silver prices look to
be a bargain, sitting close to their lowest
levels in nearly three years.” As we have
been saying here, silver is a double-play
investment, a “hybrid” metal, serving as a
precious metal used historically in coins
and also in several important indus-
trial applications. he portion of silver
demand from industry is now at 65% and
rising. As we have reported before, silver’s
cutting-edge uses are in solar energy
panels, photovoltaic cells and many
promising electrical applications.
Barron’s notes there’s also a dramatic rise
in investment demand. he U.S. Mint sold
242% more silver American Eagles in Sep-
tember through November in 2018 than in
2017, so many investors see what Barron’s
is seeing – that silver is a bargain now.
Most major banks and investment
houses haven’t issued fresh gold price pro-
jections since last October, but we should
see quite a few in the next month. Back on
October 30, at the annual meeting of the
London Bullion Market Association held
in Boston, the average predicted price for
gold 12 months from that date was $1,532,
a huge 25% gain from the $1,230 price
at the time. hat was a very unusual out-
come, since the LBMA is noted for being
very conservative in its price projections.
Last October, Germany’s Commerzbank
predicted gold to rise to $1,300 by year-
end 2018 (it came close) and $1,500 in
2019. It says that gold’s previous weakness
was caused by the strong U.S. dollar, plus
the strong U.S. stock market and weak
emerging market currencies and global
stock markets. As of last October, it saw
those fundamentals changing, with the
dollar declining along with U.S. stocks,
giving gold a boost.
he Dutch bank ABN Amro sees gold
and silver rising steadily throughout
2019, with gold reaching $1,400 and
silver $18.00 at the end of 2019, with
each quarter rising steadily throughout
the year. Canada’s TD Bank sees gold at
$1,375 to $1,400 in late 2019. Stateside,
Bank of America Merrill Lynch said that
gold could average $1,350 an ounce in
2019 due to widening budget deicits, due
to the recent tax cuts. Its head of global
commodities and derivatives research,
Francisco Blanch, said that we’re still
pretty constructive longer term on gold,
because, in the long run, a huge U.S.
government budget deicit is pretty posi-
tive for gold.
“Common-Date” Gold Type Coins
Push Higher
Over the last few months, with gold
moving up, demand from new and old
customers has increased for gold bullion
and many types of “common-date” gold
coins. his includes MS-63 $20 Liberties
which have risen $120 while gold moved
up $60. Many dealers without a gener-
ous inventory have seen how quickly
supplies can dry up. Dealers I’ve talked to
have also noted a signiicant increase in
collector, dealer and investor demand for
“common-date” gold type coins.
My crystal ball sees further price
increases for this area in the near future. •

ave you ever walked into a coin shop or clicked on a
coin dealer website and just felt like you had to buy a
certain coin right then and there? It seems most coin
collectors at one time or another feel an overwhelm-
ing desire to purchase this or that piece at a certain time,
either because the price was right or the item had languished
unfulfi lled on a want list for months, even years, and then –
the opportunity to purchase the coin finally presented itself.
While we all have certain coins itching at us, there are several
pieces that for one reason or another you really must buy now.
In some cases, the coins profiled in this article have come down
in price after falling from loft y highs; those pieces may now be
poised for a rebound, but are presently still affordable. Other
pieces mentioned here offer other unique advantages that may
be best realized if you strike now, while the iron is hot.
The coin market is always changing, but as we barrel headlong
into mid-2019, some intriguing trends are taking shape. Jump-
ing aboard those coin-collecting A-Trains before they leave their
stations or capitalizing on those numismatic Rip Van Winkles
who are beginning to stir in their sleep is how collectors – espe-
cially those who enjoy making hot buys – can really make 2019
a year of good fortune.
So, what are those “gotta-have” coins? Why is now the time to
buy these specific coins? And what does their pricing perfor-
10 COINAGEMAG.COM
mance suggest about the future? Here’s a look at some of the
coins you should move to the top of your wish list right away.
Peace Dollars
With the exception of “pennies” and quarters, silver dollars
are easily among the most popular, widely collected U.S. coins.
Their broad appeal can be explained by their silver content,
their heft, history, scarcity, and long-running prominence in
pop-culture circles, including countless references to these
large silver coins in movies and television shows. To be certain,
the Morgan dollar, struck from 1878 through 1921, enjoys the
majority of this attention, in part because of their actual and
romanticized connections to the Old West.
Meanwhile, the Peace dollar, which replaced the 19th-century
“Liberty Head” dollar designed by George T. Morgan, has
mostly taken a backseat to the Morgan dollar. But Peace dollars
have many excellent things going for them, including a signifi-
cant upcoming anniversary that many numismatists and major
promoters are sure to soon recognize.
The Peace dollar, designed by Italian immigrant Anthony
de Francisci and released in the waning days of 1921, will be
marking a century of existence in 2021. With their centennial
anniversary only a couple years away, these large silver coins are
poised to receive more attention from the numismatic commu-

nity than they have seen in many years. Though these questions
remain: Will their time in the limelight be a flash in the pan
spurred by the centennial-themed marketing blitz sure to come
from major coin dealers? Or will Peace dollars enjoy a sustained
and organic boost from new collectors who stay with the series
long beyond the 100th anniversary in 2021?
Time will tell, but there are many reasons to believe Peace
dollars will see a long-term bump in popularity because of
the upcoming anniversary. The numismatic community will
receive a mass memo on how and why Peace dollars came to
be. They were conceived just after World War I ended in 1918
and are traced to Frank Duffield, whose article published in the
November 1918 issue of The Numismatist, official journal of the
non-profit American Numismatic Association (ANA), called
for a victory coin “issued in such quantities that it will never
become rare.” In August 1920, noted numismatic scholar Farran
Zerbe read a letter before the ANA convention calling for new
silver dollars struck “in commemoration of victory and peace.”
The first Peace dollars rolled off presses at the Philadelphia
Mint on December 28, 1921, and 1,006,473 pieces were struck
with the 1921 date. All of these silver dollars were issued in
a high-relief motif and today are desirable among collec-
tors. In 1922, regular-issue Peace dollars were struck in a
significantly lower relief, resulting in a flatter design that has
led some enthusiasts to regard the 1921 Peace dollars and the
lower-relief versions that came after as two distinct subtypes.
Issues struck from 1922 through 1926 are the most common of
the series, which ran until 1935. Pieces struck during the late
1920s through the 1930s represent the scarcest subset of Peace
dollars, with four issues coming in with mintages of under one
million apiece. These include the 1927 (848,000 struck), 1927-S
(866,000), 1928 (360,649), and 1934 (954,057).
In terms of price and availability, the 1928-S serves as the con-
ditional series key, with MS-65 specimens retailing for $18,800
according to data on dealer-to-dealer trades. These prices, and
prices of other coins that follow, are from The CDN Monthly
Greysheet or its legacy predecessor, The Coin Dealer Newsletter.
Meanwhile, the Philly-struck 1928 dollar, the lowest-mintage
regular-strike issue in the series, trades in MS-65 for around
$3,500. The most common issues from the mid-1920s sell for
between $100 and $125 in MS-65. Finally, the high-relief repre-
sentatives from 1921 realize approximately $1,750 in MS-65.
Though there are several high-priced issues, the Peace dollar is
not a particularly large series. Just 24 issues are needed to com-
plete the entire run of regular issues, and there are a few dozen
significant “VAM” die varieties as cataloged by numismatists
Leroy C. Allen and A. George Mallis (whose surname initials
create the popular “VAM” acronym). And while the series may

lack the complexity of its predecessor, the Morgan dollar, which
entails 97 basic date-and-mintmark combinations and several
hundred popular VAM varieties, the Peace dollar series still
manages to keep numismatists on their toes.
The ultra-rare 1922 high-relief matte proof has a handful
of known survivors and as of late has most often traded for
six-figure prices. Most recently, an MS-64 specimen certified
by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) marked as a
superior-quality specimen by the Certified Acceptance Corpo-
ration (CAC) took $158,625 in an April 2017 Heritage Auctions
sale. Then there’s the elusive 1964-D Peace dollar, which saw
316,076 trial pieces struck in May 1965. All were reportedly
melted and none are known to exist. Any survivors are illegal
for private citizens to own.
Peace dollars represent tantalizing territory for numismatists
wanting to pursue a shorter-run silver dollar series that is both
obtainable yet offers financially challenging opportunities for
deep-pocketed collectors. And with the series soon to enjoy 15
more minutes of fame in 2021, hobbyists who are interested
in either building a new Peace dollar collection or upgrading
an existing set may consider getting ahead of the game before
(even) heavier promotion and a potential new wave of collectors
beget subsequent price hikes.
And here’s another question: What happens to the popularity
of traditional Peace dollars if the powers that be at the United
States Mint pull off a special retread, perhaps in time for the
coin’s centennial in 2021? As we’ve seen in recent years from
12 COINAGEMAG.COM
the U.S. Mint, this certainly isn’t out of the realm of possibility.
Consider the success of James Earl Fraser’s American bison
design from the Buffalo nickel (1913-1938) re-released in the
form of gold bullion coins beginning in 2006. We also can’t
forget the 2009 Ultra High Relief 24-karat one-ounce gold coin
reprising the $20 Saint-Gaudens double eagle – these pieces are
still popular with collectors and investors a decade on. Then
there is the trio of 2016-dated gold coins featuring faithful
reproductions of the Standing Liberty quarter by Hermon
MacNeil as well as the Mercury dime and Walking Liberty half
dollar by Adolph Weinman. Wouldn’t a newly minted 2021
Peace dollar follow suit pretty nicely? It might just be in the
cards. And the original Peace dollar series would certainly come
up deuces in that scenario.
Generic Pre-1933 Gold Coins
Have you checked the numismatic premiums on common
pre-1933 gold coins lately? If you haven’t, you better give these
coins a second look. Softening demand for classic gold coins,
strengthening popularity of modern bullion coins from the
United States and abroad, and a flood of high-end $20 Saint-
Gaudens double eagles and other gold denominations from
Europe and elsewhere have pushed prices on many pre-1933
gold coins to historic lows.
How low are their numismatic premiums over spot now?
Premiums have dropped from double, even triple or more,
over relative spot prices some 20 years ago versus today, when

one can purchase $10 eagles and $20 double eagles for just a
hair over spot. Consider, for example, the prices of pre-1933
gold issues from November 1998, when gold was about $290
per ounce. Bid prices (a wholesale amount paid by dealers) for
typical MS-60 Saint-Gaudens $20s were $510, representing
an approximately 80% numismatic premium over the coin’s
intrinsic value. Meanwhile, $10 Indian eagles were listed with
bid prices of $360, or approximately 155% over the spot price for
that coin. At the same time, $2.50 and $5 Indians were bidding
at $185 and $250, respectively. Those figures represent premiums
of about 425% for the quarter eagle and 350% for the half eagle.
My, how things have changed! With gold prices hovering
around $1,260 per ounce as of press time (more than three
times the price of gold in 1998), generic MS-60 Saint-Gaudens
$20s are listed at a bid price of $1,255, or less than $30 above the
press-time spot price of $1,227 for the double eagle. By the way,
many coin dealers are flipping those same uncirculated generic
$20s to retail customers for only $15 to $30 above bid prices.
That represents a numismatic premium of barely 5% to 10% on
“common” $20 double eagles.
Premiums are also ridiculously low on the smaller-denomi-
nation generic pre-1933 gold coins. Generic MS-60 Indian $10
eagles trade between dealers for around $660 apiece and hit
retail circles under $880. Granted, gram-over-gram for gold,
that’s a larger numismatic premium than are registering for
double eagles. But numismatic premiums of 30% to 40% over
spot beats the 150% or higher padding paid by collectors two
decades ago for the same coins. Indian $2.50s and $5s are trad-

ing in the wholesale market for about $270 and $380 in MS-60
and retail for approximately $365 and $495, respectively. Yet
even with premiums ranging anywhere from about 75% to 150%
over spot, prices for these small gold coins today are relative
bargains as compared to 20 years ago.
The takeaway? You can now buy classic pre-1933 gold coins
for roughly the same price over spot as you could purchase
similarly sized American Gold Eagles and other modern bullion
gold coins. But the real steals of the day are the pre-1933 gold
coins, because while modern gold coins are minted in huge
numbers and produced to necessary quantities to meet current
demands, there is but a finite supply of pre-’33 gold coins. Don’t
let mintage numbers fool you. Mass-melting of pre-1933 gold
coins over the past decades has made many once-common pre-
1933 gold coins truly scarce. In reality, all pre-1933 gold coins
are scarce in an absolute sense – even the generic circulated
specimens that trade for pennies above melt.
What’s more, a collector can now reasonably expect to
assemble a four-piece 20th-century denomination type set of
gold coins, which could include the beautiful gold coins of
Bela Lyon Pratt (who designed the $2.50 and $5 Indians) and
Augustus Saint-Gaudens (the sculptor behind the $10 Indian
and eponymous $20 “Saint”), for less than $3,500. Premiums
may be low for now, but one might not want to sit out the
bargains too long.
You might decide to take advantage of the historically low
prices and, instead of pursuing “raw” pieces, will opt for slabbed
pre-1933 gold coins certified by PCGS or Numismatic Guaranty

Corporation (NGC). Either way, buyers appear to be in a win-
ning position, for now at least. Surely, as more collectors who
once thought they couldn’t afford to collect gold coins now find
themselves in a buyer’s market, increasing demand on these
scarce, classic gold coins may push premiums back up again.
Classic Commemorative Coins
(1892-1954)
There was a time in the late 1980s when certified classic com-
memorative coins were the golden children of the numismatic
investment portfolio. Back when third-party certification was a
newfangled concept and Wall Street types began pouring their
money into slabbed, gem-graded coins via mainly sight-unseen
transactions, commems were all the rage. And it’s not hard to
see why – they were (and remain) novel coins that few “outsid-
ers” know about, offer many intriguing designs, carry vintage
appeal, and – in the late 1980s – still boasted low population
figures, as relatively few had yet been submitted for grading.
By the end of 1989, most of the then-recently arrived specula-
tors had left the coin market and, as a result of their departure,
prices on those “investment coins” collapsed. Commemorative
coins suffered particularly hard, with prices for virtually all of
the classic silver and gold commemorative coins struck from
1892 through 1954 showing major losses over the last 30 years.
Most have fallen in price between 50% and 75%, and some have
fallen by as much as – and even more than – 90% since 1989.
What’s going to happen? Could prices possibly fall to 99%
of their 1989 levels? With the exception of bullion-related
considerations as they relate to coin prices, of course anything is
possible. But it’s pretty difficult to see a scenario in which scarce
uncirculated commemoratives half dollars are trading at $10,
$20 or $30 apiece, even in the depressed marketplace setting of
early commems. This leaves hobbyists in an excellent position
to add classic commemorative coins to their collections. Sure,
nobody can say whether or not commemorative coin prices have
finally bottomed out. But numismatists have a chance to add
some incredible gem-quality commems for prices that are but a
tiny fraction of their 1989 highs.
Consider the historic price performance of the 1922 Grant
Memorial with Star, 1928 Hawaiian, and 1935 Spanish Trail.
They represent among the scarcest commemorative halves of
the “early” era, with small surviving populations of fewer than
10,000 each. Greysheet pricing from May 1989, when the late
’80s coin market was at its climax, shows MS-65 1922 Grant
Memorial with Star halves trading at wholesale levels of $21,000.
Today, that same coin trades hands for about $3,500. Prices for
1928 Hawaiian half dollars in MS-65 have also tumbled, from
$15,000 in May of 1989 to $3,000 today. As for that 1935 Spanish
Trail half? It’s yet another casualty of the coin market crash,
having fallen from $2,600 in 1989 to just $960 today. Other
commems have also shown similar declines.
Those who wish to take advantage of the situation and begin
building a nice collection of classic commemorative coins –
perhaps even a registry set – have plenty of options out there, in
terms of selection and potential set objectives. With more than
150 issues consisting mostly of half dollars but also encompass-
ing a quarter dollar, silver dollar, and a motley crew of gold
types ranging from gold dollars to $50 gold pieces, the range
of classic commemorative coins offers something for just about
every collector in every income bracket.
Now is the time to jump in on classic commemorative coins
– while prices are at or at least close to the bottom and you can
still pick some of the nicest pieces, with little competition from
other collectors, for a proverbial song. By far the best pieces are
low-population, high-grade encapsulated coins with a seal of
approval from CAC, the third-party coin evaluation firm that
applies green and gold bean-shaped stickers on slabbed coins
representing the best quality for their labeled grade. Regardless
of where the market goes for classic commemorative coins in
the future, crème-de-la-crème pieces in better grades will always
prove more satisfying to the collector, perform better in the
marketplace, and offer the best potential for a strong return on
your investment.
Reviewing Best-Buying Strategies
Ultimately, the coins you simply “gotta have” are the ones
you simply can’t, as a numismatist, live without. They may
include some of the coins listed in this article, along with

many other pieces that may or may not necessarily be the best
buy from the investment standpoint but otherwise have a grip
on your heartstrings.
Consider, for example, that die-hard Lincoln cent enthusiasts
yearn for the 1909-S VDB, 1922 plain, or 1955 doubled die
cents – three coins that have seen some decreases in recent
years. Nonetheless, these are solid key-date coins that enjoy
perennial attention from advanced collectors and novices
alike. Meanwhile, a Mercury dime collector can’t complete a
collection without the famous “must-have” 1916-D key date.
And what early American type coin collection is complete
without a Flowing Hair large cent, Draped Bust dollar, or
Capped Bust $10 gold eagle?
Whatever coins you simply must add to your collection, don’t
shortchange yourself on quality. While you should buy the
coin and not the holder, collectors can protect themselves from
damaged coins and counterfeits by insisting on nice-quality
coins certiied by PCGS and NGC. Doing so will help you be a
conident numismatic consumer who can feel good about the
coins you’re adding to your collection.
16 COINAGEMAG.COM
And, while you’re at it, do yourself a favor and spring for
CAC-veriied coins whenever possible. CAC coins are among
the best of the best available. CAC coins deservedly earn pre-
miums over regular, non-CAC specimens and usually reward
owners with handsome paydays when the time comes to sell.
At the end of the day, the best “gotta-have” coins aren’t run-
of-the-mill specimens, but rather extraordinary coins you’ll be
proud to own.
A coin with excellent eye appeal is attractive under any
marketplace conditions. So, buy the nicest coins you can
aford, and be sure to buy the coins you love. Whether
you’re going ater a sleeper series such as Jeferson nickels or
Roosevelt dimes, those that ofer ripe opportunities for new
life or potential inancial gain like the series proiled in this
article, or choosing a numismatic path less taken by working
on a complete set of silver three-cent pieces or Liberty Seated
half dimes, the collector wins when he or she is truly passion-
ate about their numismatic pursuits. Whatever numismatic
adventures you embark upon, may your avenues of choice lead
you to many exciting coins you simply “gotta have.” •

ome things, like the seasons, never change. I don’t need a
crystal ball to predict that spring will follow winter this
year on March 20, and that it will come in like a lion.
One of the great underlying propellants that keeps
coin collectors going as spring approaches has always been the
“gotta have it” mentality of instant gratification: “I’m down in
the dumps with the winter blues – so let me rush out and buy
something new for my collection that’s diverting and fascinating
to take my mind off tax season, snow, and freezing rain!”
This is a simple and satisfying action plan to add renewed
cheer to the winter months and to re-ignite that old collect-
ing flame that dies down from time to time, even in the most
dedicated numismatists.
Have you thought about a new collecting direction? Are your
Lincoln cents going stale? Try special strike America the Beauti-
ful quarters. Better yet, take a bold jump into some wholly
untried area such as inexpensive ancient coins or modern world
sets. You’ll be glad you tried.
Instant gratification, numismatics-style, isn’t just limited
to buying a new coin here or there when you want it for your
collection. It’s the whole “history in your hands” smorgasbord.
It encompasses all of the political musings at shows, coin clubs,
and hobby publications.

A high point of the American numismatic scene in an earlier
era was an annual feature in Lee F. Hewitt’s Numismatic
Scrapbook magazine that appeared each winter called “The
Crystal Ball.” This was an annual feature, run in tiny type, that
helped hobbyists stave off the winter blues. It offered dealers and
pundits an opportunity to publicize their opinions and predic-
tions of what would be happening in the winter months and in
the seasons that followed that same year.
There were two basic types of annual submissions. Some well-
connected dealers volunteered to interpret developing trends
that could affect the total coin market during the year. Many
others waxed eloquent about the brilliant prospects of coins and
collectibles they just happened to have in stock.
U.S. coin specialists never tired of beating the drum for their
own specific interests, be it proof sets or supposedly scarce
dates poised on the brink of rapid advance. A few plugged
books or new issues coming from abroad that might overcome
long standing American prejudices against “foreign” material.
Others hailed the beginning of the long-awaited wholesale
migration of U.S. collectors into “less foreign” areas as Cana-
dian and British coins.

by the massive surge in U.S. proof sets issued from 1936 to
1957. This proof set madness was the first such wave in modern
times, though many active collectors could still recall the earlier
market surge in U.S. commemorative coins that peaked in 1936.
The late William Fox Steinberg, a Miami and New York vet-
eran dealer with interests in many more areas of numismatics
than most of his U.S. colleagues, sent in well-reasoned advice for
over-excited collectors, concluding, “Stop worrying about how
many nickels the Mint is going to produce! Just enjoy your coins
and good health!”
United States coins remain the largest component in the
nation’s coin market. For many active collectors, U.S. Mint
watching is a long-established pursuit, as the occupant of the
key post of Mint Director is in a unique position to influence
the ongoing development of America’s coinage. The position
has long been closely linked to partisan politics, and most
directors have been chosen from the ranks of the party in
power in Washington.
With this reality in mind, the appointment of Republican
stalwart David J. Ryder as 39th director of the United States
Mint in April 2018 will set the tone for the numismatic world
of 2019. Billings, Montana, native Ryder is a “repeater,” having
been especially close to the late President George H.W. Bush,
1848 half cent.

who appointed him 34th director of the U.S. Mint in 1992-1993.
As he returned to office in 2018, perceptive collectors looked to
Ryder to galvanize the institution in the new year.
Interaction and mutual regard are plainly necessary. During
the busy 19th century, the fast-growing U.S. collector com-
munity and Mint staffers skirmished over many ongoing issues
affecting the nation’s coinage, from coin design to sale of proof
coins and rare patterns to privileged insiders. Such clashes
contributed to an ongoing atmosphere of mutual suspicion and
distaste, echoes of which can still be detected today.
What Mint directors can achieve was made clear by the pow-
erful women who played major roles after 1933, notably Nellie
Tayloe Ross with her four terms under Presidents Franklin
Delano Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman. In the 1960s, the terms
of Eva Adams and Mary Brooks coincided with mushroom
growth of coin collecting and the flourishing of numismatic
weekly newspapers. Virtually limitless column inches of hobby
newspaper space were lavished on Adams and Brooks, though
neither had any perceptible fan base among the readership.
Eva Adams, indeed, had publicly threatened to jail collectors
for causing the supposed coin shortage of the mid-1960s. The
bullion value of silver began its inexorable rise, triggering the
creation of the new base metal clad coinage and the overnight

disappearance of millions of existing 90% silver coins then
in circulation.
Resumption of commemorative coinage remained a pipe
dream until the 1970s with the approach of the Bicentennial
of the American Revolution. Director Brooks unbent far
enough to promote new Bicentennial reverses for the Eisen-
hower dollar, Kennedy half dollar, and Washington quarter,
along with a national medal series on Bicentennial themes.
Director Stella Hackel unexpectedly ushered in the full
return of commemorative coins with the 1982 silver half
dollar hailing the 250th anniversary of George Washington’s

birth. Commemorative coins now took off with a vengeance
and soon generated limitless controversy over subjects and
sizes of issue, denomination, and above all, price, rapidly
outstripping the most controversial issues of 1892-1954.
New denominations and controversies began to be added to
the circulating coinage after 1971, including clad coins of the
same diameter as the former silver dollars, honoring Presi-
dent Dwight D. Eisenhower, followed by smaller diameter
dollars after 1979 portraying women’s rights pioneer Susan B.

Anthony. Neither coin was a success.
The SBA, as it was called, was the same color and virtually
the same size as the existing quarter, and its design can only
be called unsightly and the coin was totally rejected by the
public. Its successor the “golden” Sacagawea dollar and the
subsequent Presidential dollars fared little better. he Mint
and Congress were simply unable to accept the reality of ongo-
ing public rejection for any circulating dollar coin.
Another reality for new commemorative series centers on
afordability. he highly innovative First Spouse series of $10
bullion gold coins is a case in point. Marvelous works of por-
traiture, these coins’ issue price placed them far beyond the
reach of most American collectors. his same reality governs
the average collector response
to platinum bullion pieces and
other glittering innovations
that are of great beauty but of
prohibitive cost.
he performance of such costly
series contrasts boldly with the
one program that must be hailed
as a triumphal success: the
Statehood Quarter Series. Here
were coins that actually entered
circulation, receiving public
acclaim and actual use. hey
generated exciting designs with
remarkably little controversy,
and the lesson these coins taught
could be proitably studied by the
new Mint director.
To some degree, the America
the Beautiful proof and uncircu-
lated quarter series represents an extension of the Statehood
program. Dozens of quarters have appeared bearing designs
that highlight the history and beauty of America’s national
parks and monuments. Here proit-making by the Mint
became evident as some issues were ofered in 100-coin bags
or rolls of 40 pieces; a few were struck at San Francisco with
“S” mintmarks at added expense.
Public response to these coins has been measurably cooler
than it was to the earlier Statehood issues. One reality that
emerges is that many complicated reverse designs look impres-
sive on large-diameter plasticine models viewed by bureau-
crats and committees but become confusing when reduced to

Another area that the new Mint director must consider care-
fully is that of special inishes, reverse proofs, and the like that
have been used as mechanisms for increased issue prices. Some
uninished business items for renewed study might include new
coinage metals suggested in the recent past, some as possible
substitutes for copper and zinc for the Lincoln cent and alterna-
tive alloys for the Jeferson nickel.
One of Director Ryder’s most energetic predecessors, Edmund
C. Moy, worked several years ago to get Congressional autho-
rization to substitute stainless steel for increasingly costly
zinc. Many major nations in Europe and the hird World now
employ steel with considerable success, but Congress feared an
end run around its power to regulate coinage metals and no
decision was made of adoption of steel. Similarly, attention was
paid to columbium for bullion coinage without clear decision.
he dramatic and unexpected gyrations of the stock market

shown startling risings and fallings, triggered by erratic foreign
trade decisions emanating from the

his has once again focused atten-
tion on gold and silver prices, with
sudden movements suggesting 1979
to some observers. Gold seems likely
to keep is role as a hedge against
inlation and stock volatility with
one important diference: We have
recently seen some stock brokers sell-
ing gold to raise cash to cover their
sudden market losses. An end to the
unusual foreign trade gyrations may
restore comparative stability to the
stock market of the near future, and
precious metals may resume their
more familiar roles in the inancial picture.
Two disturbing developments became undeniable as of late:
numismatic auctions, once a robust sector of the U.S. coin
market, have undergone dramatic consolidation in recent years,
severely limiting competition and ofering fewer opportunities
to collectors exploring auction as the best way to liquidate their
numismatic holdings.
Numismatics abroad has been enlivened by Royal Wedding
coins of the United Kingdom, while the muddled withdrawal of
Britain from the European Union, BREXIT, continued to puzzle
observers. Dramatic political instability in France recalled the
bad old days of the hird Republic and raised questions over the
continued stability of the European Union and its euro coinage.
Reactivate the mind, and refocus on a brighter collecting
future. Visit your nearest coin dealer or break out the ads in
COINage, and draw a bead on some new item or items for
your collection. It can’t hurt and can be a powerful stimulus to
renewed interest and intellectual revival during whatever season
you select. Acting on instant gratiication in the coin hobby can
be healthy, exhilarating, and proitable. •

n these uncertain times, you would be well served to protect
yourself against a downturn in the economy or more
personal misfortune that could destroy savings. Throughout
history, the favored method of protection has been to lay
aside items of value, ranging from diamonds to coins containing
precious metal, namely gold and silver. Bars of five or 10 ounces
have also been used in precious metals portfolios.
My advice relating to the gold and silver coins I analyze
here for insurance against calamity does not focus on this
$100,000 rarity or that million dollar prized proof coin. I will
leave those sophisticated nuanced rarities for another time and
another place. This article focuses on great mainstream coins
whose values are derived primarily from the metals they are
made from, and these coins are priced at tiny premiums above
their precious metal content.
For those who are not wealthy, silver coins are the surest way of
laying aside a stock of value for emergencies or to pass down to
family. And for those who are wealthy, silver coins set aside can
be used for barter purposes in the event of an emergency. It is
vitally important to understand the value of silver coins that may
be available for purchase.
Not only is it useful for emergency planning purposes to have
silver on hand, but it is equally important to understand the
weight systems under which silver is bought and sold. Silver, like
other precious metals, uses the system of Troy weights, which is
not the same as the Avoirdupois.
When we get on a scale at the doctor’s office or elsewhere, the
weight is in Avoirdupois pounds as is practically everything
except precious metals. A Troy pound is about 18 percent less
weight than an Avoirdupois pound.
The basic unit of weight before the modern era was the grain.
There are 7,000 grains in the Avoirdupois pound of 16 ounces and
5,760 grains in the Troy pound of 12 ounces. In turn this means
480 grains in a Troy ounce and 437.5 grains in an Avoirdupois
ounce. The difference is important as sometimes unscrupulous
telemarketers and dubious promoters sell silver by using Avoirdu-

economic turbulence but cost

pois ounces rather than Troy, meaning that the buyer is shorted
by about 9 percent.
Gold and silver are also sold in metric weights, but in this case
there is only one standard. A Troy ounce is 31.10 grams, and
an Avoirdupois ounce is 28.35 grams. One thousand grams is a
kilogram and most people have heard of drugs being sold by the
“kilo,” about 2.2 Avoirdupois pounds.
Many persons lay aside United States silver coins of 90 percent
purity, which was the standard until 1964. The most common
minor silver coins are the dime, quarter dollar, and half dollar. All
three are in proportion, which means that a dime has one-fifth
the amount of silver contained in a half dollar.
The half dollar that circulated prior to 1965 weighs 12.5 grams
of 90 percent silver. This means a true silver weight of 11.25 grams
or .36 of a Troy ounce, just over one-third of an ounce. It should
be noted that minor silver coins prior to 1873 were of a slightly
lesser weight but pre-1873 coins rarely show up as bullion, usually
being worth more as numismatic collectibles.
How does a person go about obtaining minor silver coins, such
as dimes or half dollars, at a reasonable price? The first way, and
perhaps the best, is to purchase such coins from an established
coin dealer, many of whom also handle bags of silver coins,
usually consisting of $1,000 face value. At press time, January
2019, with spot silver on the commodities market valued at about
$14.50 per Troy ounce, dealers are selling the $1,000 bags of
minor silver at about $10,700.
Buyers need to bear in mind that these bags of silver contain coins
that have lost about 1 or 2 percent of their weight through normal
wear. Such coins were taken from circulation in the 1960s and are a
useful commodity for those wishing to lay aside a stockpile of silver
for an emergency. The slight loss in weight is not considered signifi-
cant and should not be an impediment to purchasing these bags.
Although an occasional serious collector will purchase bags of
silver coins to search for rare or interesting varieties, most people
who purchase quantities of silver are not interested in this time-
consuming effort.

Buying bags of silver, which also come commonly in lots of $500
face value or smaller, is perhaps the best way to obtain this metal
but far from the only way. One sometimes sees accumulations of
minor silver at estate sales and auctions. The problem with such
venues, however, is that persons who do not understand how
much actual silver is involved in a given lot, frequently run up the
bidding to the point that the group of coins is a bad investment.
In a case like this, we can take the pure weight, say of 100 half
dollars of 90 percent silver, to be about 36 Troy ounces. Using the
current silver price of about $14.50 per Troy ounce, the true value
of the silver in these half dollars would be about $522. The one
hundred half dollars are worth $50 face value, but $50 in dimes
or quarters would give the same results. The buyer should not pay
more than 5 percent over net silver value, as it would be cheaper
to buy such quantities from a coin/bullion dealer. There are
bargains to be had at auctions, however, and the careful buyer can
take advantage of this.
There are other ways to buy bulk silver, some good and some
bad. If there is a family estate containing silver coins, for example,
it might be possible to purchase such coins at a fair price, once
everyone understands the true value.
On the other hand the person wanting minor silver coins is well
advised to steer clear of telemarketers and eBay type forums. The
latter in particular is not a safe venue as sellers advertising that
their coins come from an estate should be especially avoided.
There is some danger from the ever-present Chinese counter-
feits flooding the U.S. numismatic market but these are of little
importance to the person laying aside minor silver, especially if
the coins are purchased from a reliable dealer or a family estate.
There is an important warning for those buying minor silver.
Dimes and quarters dated after 1964 are of copper-nickel and
contain no silver. The easiest way of separating the post–1964
coins from the silver pieces is to look at the edge. The copper core
of the later pieces is easily seen.
It should be noted that the bags of minor silver coins will mostly
date from the 1930s to the early 1960s and the grades, on average
will be roughly Very Good to Fine. These coins have little numis-
matic value but are a very good choice for laying aside silver,
Half dollars dated after 1964 are a special case. From 1965 to
1970, they were struck in 40 percent silver and therefore of a lesser
value. Each half dollar of 1965 to 1970 contains about .148 Troy
ounce of silver (about one-seventh ounce). In practical terms, this

means that 100 of these coins would contain 14.8 ounces of silver
or about $215 in value. The prospective buyer should take these
numbers into account when purchasing 40 percent silver half
dollars. Half dollars dated after 1970 are copper-nickel and do not
contain any silver.
The current retail price for a 1,000 coin bag of 90 percent half
dollars ($500 face value) is about $5,300. On the other hand, the
Kennedy 40 percent half dollars of 1965 through 1970 presently
have a value of about $2,300 for 1,000 pieces. The pieces sell,
in large quantities for about $2.30 each, which compares to an
intrinsic value of $2.15; the difference is the dealer’s profit. The
buyer can get an idea of lesser or greater amounts by simple math-
ematics. Smaller numbers of coins will normally carry a larger
premium, however.
The other major source for those laying aside silver is the old
Morgan and Peace dollars. One thousand Peace dollars, which
are worth less than Morgan dollars but have the same amount of
silver in each coin, sell for about $16,500 but lesser amounts bring
a proportional charge to the buyer. One hundred pieces would
then be worth somewhat less than $1,700.
The Peace dollars will mostly be dated 1922 and 1923 as the
other dates in this series tend to be seen less often. The 1921 Peace
dollar, for example, brings a good premium in the numismatic
marketplace and is not a suitable coin for silver held in reserve.
The U.S. mints also strike commemorative silver coins but
these are poor choices for a portfolio of silver due to the high
premiums involved.
Foreign governments also issue one ounce silver bullion coins,
but these are less popular than the U.S. version and would be
more difficult to convert to currency when needed.
There are occasional offers on eBay of silver in quantities at
prices that seem very attractive. These offers should be avoided as
there is a risk of high-quality Chinese counterfeits making up the
lot. These false pieces contain no silver.
For those persons having a good electronic scale weighing to
one-hundredth of a gram, the following weights will be useful
in helping to make certain that a given 90 percent silver coin is
genuine: silver dollars – 26.73 grams, half dollars – 12.5 grams,
quarter dollars – 6.25 grams, and dimes – 2.5 grams. (Minor
silver coins dated from 1853 to 1873 weigh slightly less.) The 40
percent silver half dollar weighs 11.5 grams. Worn coins will
weigh slightly less of course.

COINAGE MARCH 29
 There is one other good source for silver bullion in dollar-
sized coins. These are the silver Eagles, which contain one
ounce of pure silver, struck each year by the mints and sold
through dealers to collectors at a small premium over spot
silver. There is a premium that is slightly higher than the
bulk silver bags but still a good source of silver at a reason-
able price. These coins should be purchased only from reli-
able dealers as the Chinese counterfeits of the silver Eagle are
becoming ever more pervasive on eBay and in flea markets.
The latter should also be avoided.
The last, and perhaps the least good source for silver, is
little known to the public. The five-cent pieces (nickels)
struck during World War II contained silver in order to free
up nickel for the war effort. These coins may be distinguished
from coins made of copper-nickel by noting that a large
mintmark is over Monticello on the reverse. Eighteen such
coins contain just over one Troy ounce of pure silver. They
are not recommended for a silver reserve as the public would
know little about them and they would not be easy to use in
an emergency.
For those with more discretionary funds at their disposal,
gold coins are also attractive for a security stash. The sources
for safe investing in this metal are more limited than silver

as bags of gold coins are rarely sold to anyone because of the
high price. A bag of 1,000 double eagles ($20 gold pieces)
would be worth well over $100,000. Except for the very
wealthy, this is not a good option.
There are several possibilities for laying aside gold coins.
The fi rst, and perhaps the best from a cost viewpoint, is
the Saint-Gaudens double eagle, struck from 1907 to 1933.
There are many rare dates in this series, the 1933 issue being
the most famous, but the common dates, such as the 1928,
are presently a drag on the market and their selling price is
barely over the spot (market) price of gold.
The double eagle contains about .97 of a Troy ounce of gold
and the selling price today (early 2019) is not much over spot.
The current spot value is about $1,250 per Troy ounce. It has
been reported that many of the ‘Saints’ are being melted by
major dealers and auction houses, as these coins cannot be
sold profitably. If, for example, a double eagle sells for close
to spot in a major auction then the 20 percent buyers fee
makes a mockery of the transaction.
Double eagles should be purchased from reputable dealers
and eBay avoided as here again the Chinese counterfeits are a
problem. The Liberty Head type double eagles of 1850–1907
generally bring a better price and are not good material for

buying bulk gold unless the piece is common and well worn.
The United States Mint also sells gold eagles issued through
dealers, much as in the handling of the silver Eagles. Dealers
selling these pieces charge a small premium. Unlike the
double eagle coin, the modern gold Eagle contains an ounce
of gold.
The Eagle is also struck in lesser sizes: half, quarter, and
tenth ounces. The smaller coins carry larger premiums over
spot value and the person laying aside such material should
consider this when buying.
The Mint also strikes a one ounce gold coin using the
famous Buffalo nickel design of 1913–1938. There are no
smaller versions of this coin currently made by the Mint,
although this was the case some years ago, and the Buffalo
pieces are readily available from coin dealers at a small pre-
mium over spot. Some people think that, in case of an eco-
nomic emergency the Buffalo pieces, being better recognized
by the general public, would be easier to use for necessities.
The mints also occasionally strike gold commemorative
coins that are authorized by Congress, but these are generally
overpriced and of little value to the average person laying
aside gold for an emergency. Proof coins should also be
avoided for use in a reserve of silver or gold.
The 1964 Kennedy half dollar is the last 90
percent silver coin for this denomination.

The krugerrand, which contains one ounce of gold,
is popular around the world.
Images courtesy Heritage.
A secondary source of gold at a generally low premium
is the foreign gold coins issued by a number of nations,
including South Africa, Canada, Mexico, and Austria.
These foreign pieces usually contain one ounce of pure gold
though the Mexican pieces vary somewhat in their weights.
The 50 peso piece, for example, contains about 1.2 Troy
ounces of pure gold and is popular with American investors.
The South African krugerrand, which contains exactly one
Troy ounce of gold, is widely used around the world but it
is always better to invest in domestic coinage as it is easier
to convert into American currency. The Austrian pieces do
not generally contain an exact ounce of gold but instead cor-
respond to the standards in effect before World War I.
The Mint also strikes palladium and platinum coins but
these metals are somewhat volatile and should be avoided
for ‘nest eggs’ of precious metals.
Those persons or families purchasing gold or silver coins
should first study the markets carefully and also speak to
knowledgeable dealers and numismatists when possible. The
spot values of gold and silver, which change almost on a daily
basis, are readily available and should also be consulted.
The more informed you are, the better your choices
will be. •

John Albanese’s
‘Gotta Have’ Coins
THE FOUNDER OF NGC AND CAC REVEALS HIS TOP 5 PICKS
BY JOHN ALBANESE

I
n our information technology-based world, the desire to
experience pleasure or fulfillment without delay predomi-
nates. There are probably a few things you “gotta have” and
can’t be without. High on the list is the latest iPhone, anything
Bluetooth, and Alexa-powered speakers.
In the realm of rare coins, there are a handful of coins that you
need to have right now. I’ve selected and described five affordable
coins that you can’t afford to be without. My short list spans the
basic coinage metals: copper, nickel, silver, and gold. The coins here
that are on my “gotta-have” list gotta have green grade-verification
holographic stickers from my company, the Certified Acceptance
Corporation (CAC), based in Bedminster, New Jersey, and be
certified by grading services Numismatic Guaranty Corporation
or Professional Coin Grading Service. Coins that CAC deems
high-end or solid for their grades receive green stickers. My firm’s
website, caccoin.com, maintains a free serial number verification
service, which helps deter CAC sticker counterfeiting, and popula-
tion report, which assists in determining coin rarity.

 1820
Coronet
large cent,
graded
MS-64.

o1
1820 Coronet Portrait Large Cent Graded Mint State-64 Brown
This coin is not considered to be rare because of the John Randall Hoard of 1816 to 1820 large cents, discovered
beneath a Southern railroad station platform in 1868. The large cents of 1820 are considered the highest quality
large cents due to their excellent planchet quality and the fact that many were so meticulously preserved and
managed to fortuitously escape injury. These coins will soon be 200 years old, and many look like they were just minted. A
lustrous MS-64 can be purchased for about $1,250, and the MS-65 examples can be found for slightly less than $2,000.

 1879
three-cent
nickel, graded
Prf-67.

02
Nickel Three-Cent Pieces, 1879-1889, Graded Proof-66 and Proof-67
Three-cent nickels are intriguing coins that are products of the Reconstruction period after the Civil War.
The business strikes were manufactured beginning in 1865, but only proofs were issued in 1877 and 1878. From
1879 through 1889, proofs and business strikes were manufactured, with 1886 and the 1887/6 overdate being
proof-only years. Some of the proofs from 1879 through 1889 are spectacularly beautiful and selling for about an 80% dis-
count from their historic highs. The dates that are most smartly priced are proof and cameo proof examples of 1879, 1880,
1881, 1882, 1883, 1884, 1886, 1888, and 1889. I also like 1885 (the cameo proof 67 can be pricey) and 1887 (the proof 67 and
cameo proof 67 can be pricey). Considering that Gem Proof examples of these coins on the lower end of the smart-priced
spectrum can retail from $850 to $1,850, this makes them an easy pick for my favorite nickel coinage selection.

1799
Draped
Bust dollar,
graded
VF-35.

03
Draped Bust Portrait with Heraldic Eagle on Reverse Dollar (1798-1803)
Very Fine-20 through -35. It’s hard to beat the appeal of a U.S. coin dated in the 1700s. And a dollar was big
in the 1700s, as it was the basis of the monetary system, but too high an amount to be practical in the form
of a single coin. As a result, silver dollars were minted sparingly during the first decade or so of U.S. coinage
– and not at all for more than three decades after. Bust dollars have always been popular with collectors because of their
large diameter and many interesting varieties. I remember marveling at these awesome coins as a teenager, and I still get
excited when I see an original coin with pristine, undamaged surfaces. A little patience will be required, but they’re worth
the wait. Most dates and varieties can be found in the $2,750 to $3,250 price range.

Walking
Liberty half
dollar, graded
Prf-67.

04
Walking Liberty Halves, 1939-1942, Proof-67
A.A. Weinman’s Walking Liberty half dollar is considered by many to be our most attractive silver coin.
The U.S. Mint even thinks so because in 1986 it selected the obverse from the Walking Liberty half for the
obverse of the American Eagle silver bullion coin. Proof-67 examples of the half dollar dated 1939-1942
can be purchased in the $800 range quite readily. I remember when they traded for over $3,000 per coin, and I couldn’t
keep them in stock as a coin dealer. It would only take an investment of about $750,000 to buy every Proof-67 CAC

Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle Gold Pieces, 1908 No-Motto, 1923-D, 1924, 1925, 1926, 1927, and 1928,
Mint State-65
These coins bear a design of extraordinary beauty created by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, considered by many
to be the quintessential sculptor of his time. The Saint-Gaudens design was chosen by the Mint for the gold
American Eagle bullion coin in 1986, a powerful statement that shows that even today our government considers this design
to be the very best for a gold coin. Gem MS-65 examples can be purchased for slightly over $2,000, but it will require a little
patience. These coins are incredibly beautiful and popular, and, as a kicker, contain nearly one ounce of gold. In the late
1980s, these coins traded for $4,000 each when gold bullion was about $400 an ounce. Gold has tripled since then, and the
price of these popular Gem beauties has been cut in half. •

AND Not Have
Bust Half dimes

COINAGE MARCH 59
 T
here are some great opportunities as well as
areas for caution for collectors and investors
in Bust coinage. I know I’m supposed to write
about the “gotta-have” coins. But in identifying
those specimens of value appreciation promise, I
came across others where it isn’t so clear that they will
soon appreciate. So you might not have to have them, even
though at first glance you might want them.
I have been collecting Bust coins for over 30 years and devel-
oped a deep passion for U.S. Bust silver coinage, specifically Bust
half dimes and dimes. I attend local, regional, and national coin
shows and follow auctions tracking these coins and carefully fol- 1792 half
lowing their trends. Also, I communicate regularly with collectors dime.
and dealers, and I carefully keep track of their observations and
experiences.
So after synthesizing all of this information, here are my “gotta
haves” and “not haves” in Bust half dimes.
Bust half dimes were minted from 1792 through 1837, and they
had three very different designs. The first year for half dimes was
1792, and these coins are referred to as “half dismes.” For some
numismatists, these coins are considered to be pattern coins,
while other collectors believe that these coins should be consid-
ered part of the Bust half dime series. Either way, the 1792 half
disme is a coin widely appreciated by investors and collectors.
It is estimated that only 200 to 300 examples exist; so they are
not commonly collected but widely appreciated. Also, these half
dismes are closely tied to the U.S. beginnings. Most of these coins
exist in circulated condition, and when offered for sale don’t stay
on the market for long periods of time. Based on estimates, there
are fewer than 40 known examples in uncirculated condition, and
they trade at $200,00 and more.
The 1792 half disme should see a slight increase in value for
those coins graded Good to Extremely Fine. For those uncirculat-
ed examples, I expect them to be flat in price unless they are very
attractively toned, making them high in eye appeal. Examples
that meet the high in eye appeal standard could increase in price 1800 Draped
by 5% over the next couple of years. Those examples are highly Bust half
dime.
sought by collectors and investors whenever offered and typically
attract attention.
The early half dimes were minted from 1794 until 1805 and had
three different types: 1794 and 1795, referred to as the Flowing
Hair design; 1796 and 1797, referred to as the Draped Bust Small
Eagle reverse; and 1800 to 1805, referred to as the Draped Bust
Heraldic Eagle reverse. These early half dimes are collected by
investors, type collectors, and half dimes specialists. 1802 is the
key date of this series, and it is offered very rarely. The half dime
specialists are truly dedicated to collecting half dimes and are the
foundation of this series. Besides these specialists, most investors
and type collectors acquire one example from any of these groups.
Most half dimes dated from 1794 to 1805 are cleaned and not

 attractively toned. For the last several years, these half dimes have
slowly decreased in value. Also, there exists a good number of
examples of these coins in all grades to satisfy demand. The only
exception is the 1802, which will attract attention when offered.
As for the values of the 1794 to 1805 half dimes, I expect a very
slow increase in value in all grades. However, only those that are
not cleaned and reflect even wear will achieve this growth. Any
examples that are harshly cleaned and damaged will continue
their slow downward spiral.

might be scarcer die marriages that have not been attributed.
