2004 U.S. RARE COIN MARKET TRENDSBy Kevin Lipton, KLRC
Dec 17, 2003
(PHOENIX, Arizona) -- This is the best, most sustained bull market in U.S. rare coins I have seen in 20 years. It is being fueled by ...
-A RED HOT GOLD BULLION MARKET -- for the first time in a decade. Acceptability of the U.S. rare coin market has never been higher from both investors and collectors.
-A SENTIMENT FLIP-FLOP -- First hand I have witnessed a complete flip-flop from prospective coin buyers -- from mistrust of physical rare coins in favor of stocks to mistrust of stocks and more trust in physical rare coins!
-$20 GOLD PIECES -- I expect $20 gold pieces will rise on the
coat tails of rising gold bullion prices, but it is the truely
rare gold coins (with smaller populations) that I think will rise
the most.
-OVERALL RARE COIN DEMAND IS UP -- at every level; wholesale, retail and auctions. I see more retail buyers at auctions shopping for value. Supply is not keeping up with demand, which will drive prices higher in 2004 and beyond.
-MORE COINS SOLD ON TV -- and the price levels going up!
Rare coins are now selling for $ thousands each. For example; I know
that 300 Kellogg $50 gold coins sold for $3,500 each -- in just days
of a mass media promotion. These are private issue, very limited
supply rare coins to be held for the long term, not just hobby
quality coins.
-U.S. GOLD COMMEMORATIVES (1903-1926) -- are a great value today and are becoming more difficult to find at coin shows and auctions. With 2004 being a bi-centennial for Lewis & Clark Expedition, these coins could suddenly become a welcome addition to both collectors and investors -- especially in comparison to the continued volatility of stocks and the falling U.S. dollar.
WHAT'S HOLDING AMERICANS BACK
FROM BUYING RARE COINS?
- "I don't know enough about rare coins!"
- "I don't understand the rare coin market!"
- "I need to feel comfortable... I need an education first."
All valid reasons to get up to speed on the gold coin market
with Swiss America. They have books, magazines, tapes, CD's
and soon, I hear, a DVD ... all with one purpose: to help
America rediscover gold in the 21st century. And best of all, they are FREE!
I recommend calling Swiss America at 1-800-289-2646 to discuss these exciting trends in the market with a broker ... before prices really take off.
