Coin Collecting

Welcome back to CoinLink ……..

After starting the week off a bit slow, news just started to pour in as the week progressed and today, Friday was no exception. With the Long Beach show just around the corner, Gold moving up and down, and some fantastic collections coming up for sale in the next few weeks, there is going to be a huge amount of news in the coming days., and CoinLink will have it all for you. Here is what’s New today:

Breaking News and Articles:

Heritage is offering not one, but TWO 1794 Dollars in the upcoming Long Beach Sale starting May 28. The sale includes over 8200 lots including the Col. Steven Ellsworth Collection of U.S. Half Cents. This will be another major sale.

We also cam across a rather interesting articles on the “supposed” North Korean counterfeit “Supernotes”. An interesting read for all of you conspiracy buffs.

Spain has now officially claimed ALL of the Black Swan treasure and are using an interesting rational for pushing their claim. Another installment in what surely will be an ongoing saga.

Doug Winter has provided an interesting insight on a New club just formed, The 20th Century Gold Club, and some thoughts on what really matters in collecting. Great Read

More New Content:

A New Book has been posted, Guide to Coin Collecting by David L. Ganz. David is a very good writer and every collector should take a look at his latest offering.

Earlier in the week we posted an article on Stack’s upcoming Minot Sale in NYC on May 21st. Part of that collection are two possibly UNIQUE bronze casts of Hermon MacNeil’s Standing Liberty Quarter Design. Certainly this is something one does not see everyday and we have included a full article on the Coin Guide section of CoinLink.

Coming Soon:

Finally, starting next week we will have expanded coverage on our Daily News Summary to include not only news and articles that appear on CoinLink, but also “off site” articles that you may find of interest. There are an increasing number of fine numismatic blogs emerging that offer niche content, such as MintNewsBlog, CoinUpdate, CoinNews, CoinCollector and CoinsBlog to name just a few. We will highlight and link to some of their content in future postings.

We look forward to seeing you again on Monday !
