Draped Bust $5

A choice example of this rare early $5 gold piece. The surfaces are clean and the strike is outstanding. The luster and color are rich and original. The gold content in U.S. coins was lowered in 1834 and most of the pre 1834 issues hit the melting pot. Survivors are rare in all grades and very rare in choice condition. A gorgeous early gold rarity.

How to identify coins value | numismatic rare coins

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 09:54:00 +0000

The coin values are influenced or determined primarily by the following five factors:

Old Coin Values and Rare Coin Values:

Scarcity or rarity is a major determinant of coin value.
As a general matter, the rarer a coin the higher the coin value. Note that rarity has little to do with the age of a coin. Many one thousand year old Chinese coins often sell for no more than a few dollars because there are a lot of them around, whereas a 1913 Liberty Head Nickel may sell for over $1,000,000 because there are only five known specimens in existence.

The condition or grade will influence coin value.
The better the condition a coin is in, the higher will be its assigned grade and the more it will be worth. An uncirculated coin that is in flawless mint state might be worth hundreds times more than the same coin in good condition but which has been circulated.
Please refer to the Coin Grading page for more information about coin grades.

Gold Coin Values, Silver Coin Values : Many coins have a bullion value determined by the value of the precious metals it contains. A gold coins, silver coins or platinum coin does not generally sell for much less than its melt value.

The demand for the particular coin, or how many collectors want it, will also greatly influence coin values. Some coins that are relatively plentiful may command higher prices than scarcer coins because the former are more popular with collectors. For example, there are over 400,000 1916 D dimes in existence as compared to only about 30,000 1798 dimes. However, even though the 1798 dime is much rarer than its 1916D counterpart, the 1916D coin sells for significantly more. This is because many more people collect early 20th century mercury dimes than dimes from the 1700's.

Rarity and grade do not tell the whole story in a coin's value. The "quality" of coins is a huge factor in determining coin value and coin price when you decide to sell. But it is also the most difficult to determine properly, and requires a practiced eye.

Obviously, all coins are not all the same aesthetically. Some coin designs -- the high relief Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle, for example -- are widely considered to be more beautiful than others. The public's taste for these designs has a significant influence on the value of the coins that bear them.

But when we speak of a coin's "quality," we are talking about characteristics of minting, execution, survival condition, and overall eye appeal that set it apart from other coins of the same design and certified grade. Individual coins that are above average in appearance for strike, luster, evenness and/or color of toning, and eye appeal are considered to be higher in quality, and simply in greater demand, than those that do not look as nice-even at the same PCGS or NGC rating. The higher the quality, the greater the value of any particular issue.

Furthermore, some coins grade at the top of their rating while others grade at the bottom, even though they are identical on paper. These differences within grade are usually small but nonetheless observable to the expert eye, and are an important factor in quality and value. Coins that are higher in quality always sell faster and usually command higher prices than other coins at each grade rating. The quality of your rare coins is therefore is quite important, not merely for your own aesthetic enjoyment but also for the value and liquidity of your investment.

Usually clay chips are used for home poker games. But also coins are used. The value of the coins are then set before the game and they reflect the value of the pot rather than the actual value of the coin.

Finding a reputable coin dealer can help you determine the true value of the coins in your collection. Make sure you research the coin dealer on the internet to make sure you're dealing with a quality buyer.

If you would like to invest in US Coins or World Coins, purchase them directly from US Mint.

numismatic rare coins

Flea Markets:
It would be surprising place to find rare coins at a flea market, but stranger things have happened. These places have different ideas about pricing which is due to their lack of understanding of how a coin should be priced. You will find overpriced coins but if you are lucky you might find a rare coin somewhere in those stacks of coins that will make it worth your while.Flea markets sellers are usually looking for a quick sell and would probably give you discounts when you buy their items in bulk. Try to buy other items and get your coins added as a bonus. (numismatic rare coins)

Auctions:
If you are looking to invest in really, really rare coins, the best place to go would be an auction. Auctions are the only place where you can find people selling their rarest and most expensive coins. Several of these auctions are happening online at the same time and most of the sellers are looking for the highest bidders. You must be aware and warned that some of these sellers are frauds and will not make the price you pay worthwhile. You should try to learn more about these coins and their worth before trying to buy one from an online auction. (numismatic rare coins)

Other Coin Collectors:
Coin collectors usually have duplicate coins that they are willing to sell for a price lower than its market value. The only problem is it is hard to find another coin collector that collects the same coins as you. The best places to look are online groups, forums and (if you have one) local groups.Other coin collectors are the best people to turn into when you want to start your own collection. They can offer you tips , discounts and some might even be tempted to give you some of their coins to kick-start your collection.Coin collecting is like any other investment the value will fluctuate: they may depreciate in value and/or gain value at any time. The best way to profit in coin collecting is keep updated with the news and the prices of the coins. This will not only help you in not being fooled by merchants but by learning how to price a coin even without a price list.

1852/1 $20 Humbert Twenty Dollar PR65 PCGS: numismatic rare coins

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 15:08:00 +0000

numismatic rare coins

The 1851 opening of the U.S. Assay Office was a boon to the San Francisco gold rush economy. Miners and merchants could deposit gold dust and receive fair value in the form of $50 gold pieces, which were also accepted at par by the U.S. Customs Office.

The Assay Office pieces effectively removed private gold coins from circulation. In 1849 and 1850, numerous private California mints such as Baldwin and the Miner's Bank produced gold pieces. These were proven underweight, and merchants and bankers refused to accept them except at a steep (and profitable) discount. The bankers then took the disparaged private gold coins to the Assay Office, which melted them into market-acceptable $50 "slugs."

US Tokens 1833-1900

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 17:35:00 +0000

According to a general definition of a token, it is a metallic substitute for government coinage, or a form of coin-shaped advertising. But a token does not have to be made of metal to be described as a token. For example, some modern types of tokens are made of plastic. Also a token is not always subjected to the rule of being "worth" something to be truly a token - "good for" 5 cents, one ride, one drink, etc.

The diversity of tokens includes various types such as counterstamped coins, currency tokens, membership medals, advertising checks, political tokens, tokens for value, store cards, transportation tokens, tool checks, amusement tokens, indian and post trader tokens, shell and mirror cards, hard rubber cards, military tokens, telephone tokens, prison tokens, political campaign pieces, etc. That is why collecting tokens has become one of the most important cornerstones in numismatics.

what is numismatic ?

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 05:39:00 +0000

numismatic rare coins

Numismatics (Latin: numisma, nomisma, "coin"; from the Greek: νομίζειν nomízein, "to use according to law") is the study or collection of currency, including coins, tokens, paper money, and related objects. While numismatists are often characterized as students or collectors of coins, the discipline also includes a much larger study of payment media used to resolve debts and the exchange of goods. Lacking a structured monetary system, people in the past as well as some today lived in a barter society and used locally found items of inherent or implied value. Early money used by primitive people is referred to as "Odd and Curious", but the use of other goods in barter exchange is excluded, even where used as a circulating currency (e.g., cigarettes in prison). The Kyrgyz people used horses as the principal currency unit and gave small change in lambskins.^[1] The lambskins may be suitable for numismatic study, but the horse is not. Many objects have been used for centuries, such as conch shells, precious metals and gems.

Today, most transactions take place by a form of payment with either inherent, standardized or credit value. Numismatic value may be used to refer to the value in excess of the monetary value conferred by law. This is also known as the "collector's value" or "intrinsic value."

Economic and historical studies of money's use and development are separate to the numismatists' study of money's physical embodiment (although the fields are related; economic theories of money's origin depend upon numismatics, for example).

rare coins

An incredibly rare Roman gold coin has been discovered at Blackburn Museum. The coin was part of a large collection donated to the town in 1946 by Mr. R.E. Hart, but its significance has only recently been appreciated.The gold aureus of Octavian is one of only two known to exist in the world - the other is in the collection of the British Museum in London, purchased in 1994.

Octavian was the adopted heir of Julius Caesar - as Augustus he became the first true Roman Emperor after Caesar was assassinated, ruling from 27 B.C. to 14 A.D. The coin dates to the very first year of his reign and refers to Augustus returning the laws and rights to the people of Rome after the dictatorship of Caesar.

Nick Harling, Keeper of Social History at the Museum, said: "the coin is an incredible find - we are currently recording over 8,000 coins on a database, but this one stood out because we couldn't identify it straight away. It was only after contacting the British Museum that we realised what a rarity we had!". Experts at the British Museum are said to have been 'amazed' that another example has turned up.

Blackburn Museum will be displaying the coin for a number of weeks from Tuesday 17th May 2005,after which it will be travelling down to London to be compared with its 'twin'.
