Gold Slips Toward $1100/oz, Silver Retreats to $17/oz

CoinNews.net — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 22:05:22 +0000

New York gold approached $1,130 an ounce earlier on Wednesday only to fall 1.3 percent and finish toward $1,100 an ounce by day’s close. Various factors for the decline were cited, including apprehension over forthcoming economic reports from China and futures liquidation with more than 1 million ounces of the yellow metal sold.

In other metals and markets, silver and platinum retreated 1.8 percent and 0.4 percent, respectively. Crude oil, which gold often follows, rose to above $82 a barrel and an eight-week high following unexpected data from the Energy Information Administration. US stocks climbed modestly for a second straight day.

Gold, Silver, Metal Prices Commentary – 3/10/2010

Jon Nadler, Kitco Metals Inc. — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 17:20:22 +0000

A Sentiment(al) Journey

Gold held steady overnight and its trading range has thus far been confined to only about $10 –between $1120 and $1130. Then again, steadiness was the operative word in the US dollar as well, and the euro did not show too much further movement after falling to a fresh one-month low of under 1.461 against the Swiss franc. The latter had gained against the common currency as speculators manifested a large pile-in into the currency until the SNB fired off a shot across the gamblers’ bow by reportedly stepping into the market and intervening. Take zat!

No further developments were reported on the Greek odyssey front, following a largely symbolic show of support by US President Obama during his tete-a-tete with Greek PM Papandreou. There really isn’t much the US can do for Greece at this moment, but nods of approval for the country’s efforts are always a nice thing to offer…Meanwhile, the EC is still at work sorting out the details of a putative European Monetary Fund (EMF?) designed to help Greece and Portugal through their respective credit travails. For its part, Portugal has now also offered a deficit-reduction plan intended to boost (fast-slipping) investor confidence levels.

Lord Wedgwood Unveils Coin Depicting Ancestor’s Sydney Cove Medallion

The Perth Mint — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 22:53:23 +0000

Gold Ends Mildly Lower, Silver Advances Slightly

CoinNews.net — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 22:19:19 +0000

New York bullion futures were mixed on Tuesday, with gold and platinum closing mildly lower while silver ended slightly higher. Gold reached its lowest price since Feb. 26 as the US dollar strengthened against the euro. Pundits also linked gold weakness to comments from China’s top foreign exchange manager signaling that the yellow metal would not likely be a main reserve investment.

In other markets, crude oil edged down for the first time in three days while US stock marked modest gains — although enough for the Nasdaq to finish at a new 18-month high.

Gold, Silver, Metal Prices Commentary – 3/9/2010

Jon Nadler, Kitco Metals Inc. — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 16:22:25 +0000

Which Part of "Bu Dui" Is Unclear?

Good Day,

Gold prices fell to a one-week low of under $1115.00 per ounce overnight as the US dollar continued its recent climb and reached 80.74 on the trade-weighted index. The rallies in risk assets came under pressure as perception resurfaced that this type of speculation has been largely underpinned by generous liquidity and ultra-low interest rate and that it has a finite shelf-life in the big scheme of things.

The euro also continued under selling pressure early this morning as the Greek situation appears to remain without an obvious and/or imminent solution. The common currency was last seen trading near 1.354 against the greenback ahead of the closed-door meeting between US and Greek leaders today.

Gold, Silver, Metal Prices Commentary – 3/8/2010

Jon Nadler, Kitco Metals Inc. — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 17:01:10 +0000

We Are Indebted To You. And You, To US

Good Day,

Gold prices started Monday’s trading session on a relatively steady note, with gold making a small, $1.30 advance on the tickers, and opening at $1135.70 per troy ounce.

The weekend was rather bereft of major Greek-related news, save for the absence of any overt German or EU commitments to Prime Minister Papandreou. French President Sarkozy, on the other hand, pledged that the euro region stands ready to rescue Greece if the need arises. What he knows that his official friends in Berlin, Frankfurt, or Brussels, are reluctant to make public, remains an open question at this time.

In any case, the US dollar originally sank more than about half a percent against the euro as the common currency found a modicum of support following Monsieur Sarkozy’s indications that the Greek ship won’t be allowed to slip beneath the waters. The opening minutes had the euro trading up near 1.3673 against the greenback, and the latter at 80.26 on the trade-weighted index (off by 0.16). Against that mildly bullish backdrop, silver bullion opened with a 6-cent gain, quoted at $17.43 the ounce. Platinum racked up major gains at the open, adding $26 to Friday’s closing values and reaching $1603.00 per troy ounce.

Ancient Alexander the Great Coins Unearthed in Syria

CoinNews.net — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 16:53:25 +0000

Hellenistic period silver coins dating back to Alexander the Great were found near Najm Castle in northern Syria, the Syrian official news agency SANA said last week.

The coins were unearthed three weeks ago by a local man about to build a new. Found in a bronze box were more than 250 coins, according to Yousef Kanjo, the director of archeological excavations at the museum. The ancient coins were of two denominations: 137 tetradrachms and 115 drachmas.

New $100 Note Release Ceremony in Washington, D.C.

Bureau of Engraving and Printing — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 15:20:05 +0000

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The new design for the $100 note will make its debut on April 21, 2010, during a ceremony at the Department of the Treasury’s Cash Room. The U.S. government redesigns currency in order to stay ahead of counterfeiters and protect the public.

Decisions about the redesign of each denomination are guided by the government’s close evaluation of the range of ongoing counterfeit threats, whether from digital technology or traditional printing presses.

The unveiling of the $100 note is the first step in a global multi-government agency public education program implemented by the Department of the Treasury, the Federal Reserve Board and the U.S. Secret Service, to educate those who use the $100 note about its changes before it begins circulating.

US Mint Silver Eagle Bullion Coin Sales Top 6 Million

CoinNews.net — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 16:46:52 +0000

American Silver Eagle Bullion coins blasted off in January and have already topped the 6 million sales mark through to the first week of March, according to the latest figures from the United States Mint. That, despite a delayed January 19 release of the 2010-dated Silver Eagles and a week prior sell out of the 2009s.

The silver bullion coins had their best ever January with authorized buyers ordering 3,592,500 — a significant feat given the series began in 1986. Sales dipped in February by comparison, coming in at 2,050,000 for the month. But that was still enough to record a second best ever February — right behind February 2009.

Bullion & Business Weekend Report – March 6, 2010

CoinNews.net — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 16:18:50 +0000

Metals rallied this week with the euro and dollar swinging back and forward on various news items surrounding the management of Greece’s debt crisis. The currency volatility and tug of war action made gold a weekly winner. The yellow metal also took note of Friday’s better-than-expected jobs report from the U.S. Labor Department, which increased investors’ risk appetite, so opined players.

The U.S. jobs data moved more then metals on Friday. New York crude oil topped $81 a barrel and hit a price point not seen since January 11. U.S. stocks rallied driving the Nasdaq to an 18-month high while the Dow and S&P reached levels last visited on January 20. European stocks registered gains for the week as well.

In weekly New York metals prices, April gold advanced $16.30, or 1.5 percent, to end at $1,135.20 an ounce. Silver for May delivery finished at $17.382 an ounce, soaring 86 cents, or 5.2 percent. April platinum climbed $39.20, or 2.5 percent, to close at $1,579.10 an ounce.

2010 Boy Scouts of America Centennial Commemorative Coins Arriving Soon

CoinNews.net — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 16:21:18 +0000

In only a few short weeks, the United States Mint will start selling a commemorative coin which is sure to be a hit not only with traditional coin collectors, but also with many new-comers to the hobby. On March 23, 2010, the US Mint launches the 2010 Boy Scouts of America Centennial Silver Dollar.

(Click Image to Enlarge)

These Boy Scouts coins, while standard in their composition and weight for a commemorative, are unique in the fact of their subject matter and the swarm of potential buyers they bring to the industry. It is estimated that almost 2.8 million youth members alone belong to the Boy Scouts of America (BSA). Add in the million plus adult members and the numbers approach 4 million active participants. And that does not take into account millions more who were a part of the organization in the past, who will eagerly race to buy one or more of the coins.

Gold, Silver, Metal Prices Commentary – 3/5/2010

Jon Nadler, Kitco Metals Inc. — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 16:14:33 +0000

Upside-Down Views and Hot Pics From Down Under

Good Day,

Gold’s overnight range tightened a bit further, as risk aversion ahead of the US payroll data kept speculators largely sidelined. While the short squeeze in the euro appears to have run out of most of its steam, the dollar remained firm near 80.50 on the trade-weighted index as its traders were also reluctant to dismiss Thursday’s impressive turnaround and cash in on their gains before learning what the jobs picture might look like this morning.

Greece-oriented worries continued to underpin the generally cautious mood and albeit the trade appeared bearish on the US jobs data (weather is thought to have wreaked some short-term havoc with the numbers — havoc to the tune of perhaps 50,000 to 90,000 jobs) one Aussie currency trader cautioned that with that kind of ‘X-factor’ in the equation, the data could ‘throw anything up.’ Today is pilgrimage day for Greece’s Prime Minister Papandreou. He will visit that most special of places –Germany– in his quest to secure at least a pledge that help might come when/if his country’s financial/economic ship lists too far to offer safety for those aboard.

The fifth major numismatic product to contain this year’s America the Beautiful Quarters Program coins is the 2010 United States Mint Silver Proof Set™.

Crude oil fell as well after the dollar’s rise, but remained above $80 a barrel. U.S. stocks closed slightly higher, ending a volatile session.

New York precious metal figures follow:

US Mint Sales: Silver Coins Rise, Gold Coins Slow

CoinNews.net — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 15:04:27 +0000

Sprinting past all other collectible coins to easily become the U.S. Mint sales leader in just three days were the American Veterans Disabled for Life Silver Dollars.

Nearing 100K from their launch last Thursday through to Sunday, 66,209 proof and 32,149 uncirculated coins were ordered — very sound starting numbers. Compared to last year’s commemoratives, the debuting level was a bit more than half that of the popular Lincoln Silver Dollars, and more than double that of the Louis Braille Silver Dollars. The Lincolns eventually sold out. The Braille’s did not, but their figures were solid, nevertheless.

In other products… Both silver sets outperformed their previous weekly gains. The US Mint Silver Proof Set rose 2,687 to end at 664,885. The DC & US Territories Quarters Silver Proof Set climbed 930 to finish at 273,541.

A Look at the US Mint 2010 Proof Set

CoinNews.net — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 07:24:58 +0000

This article is the fourth in a series to briefly detail the various U.S. Mint offerings that include 2010 quarters.

The United States Mint is introducing a new series of coins as a follow-up to the successful 50-State Quarters and last year’s District of Columbia & US Territories Quarters. Dubbed the America the Beautiful Quarters Program, these new strikes will also be included within several major numismatic products released by the Mint, including the 2010 United States Mint Proof Set®.

The US Mint has yet to publicize the official price that will be charged for the 2010 Proof Set, which it has scheduled for release in July or August.

Last year’s set sold for $29.95, but it included 4 more coins than what will be found in the 2010 set. Previous years’ sets had 14 coins like this year’s set and sold for $26.95.

Gold Rises to Fresh Six-Week High, Silver Advances

CoinNews.net — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 22:35:26 +0000

New York gold futures continued to push higher on Wednesday as a stronger euro, weaker US dollar and riskier appetite played into the day’s mix and were cited catalysts for the yellow metal’s rise to above $1140 an ounce.

Other commodities took note of the falling greenback, with silver, platinum and crude-oil gaining 1.6 percent, 0.5 percent, and 1.5 percent, respectively.

U.S. stocks ended mixed, with very narrow up or down movement.

New York precious metal figures follow:

Gold for April delivery gained $5.90, or 0.5 percent, to $1,143.30 an ounce. It ranged from $1,132.80 to $1,145.80 — the highest level since January 15.
Silver for May delivery rose 26.5 cents to close at $17.329 an ounce. It ranged from $16.885 to $17.370.
April platinum advanced $7.50 to end at $1,583.50 an ounce. It ranged from $1,571.10 to $1,589.00.

Legislation Proposed to Place Ronald Reagan on the $50 Bill

CoinNews.net — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 18:48:08 +0000

A newly introduced House Resolution, if passed, would replace President Ulysses S. Grant’s portrait on the $50 bill with an image of President Ronald Reagan.

The President Ronald Reagan $50 Bill Act, numbered H.R. 4705, was introduced by Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC) on February 25, 2010.

"Every generation needs its own heroes. One decade into the 21st century, it’s time to honor the last great president of the 20th and give President Reagan a place beside Presidents Roosevelt and Kennedy," said Congressman McHenry. "President Reagan was a modern day statesman, whose presidency transformed our nation’s political and economic thinking."

President Roosevelt is featured on the dime and President Kennedy on the half-dollar.
