Our thoughts on the metals market....
Silver seems to be rangebound and is just bouncing around between $23.50 and $24.50
Gold seems to be achieving some form of escape velocity and the pull is higher...slow and steady wins the race and the chart here looks great
Ample supply ( or even oversupply) has premiums as tight has they have been in some time....or simply said the are back to relative pre-covid normal.
Even with gold at an all-time high, there does not seem to be any "euphoria" or bubble attached to the move, if anything just apathy!
Our thoughts on the coin market....
Generics tend to be weak, but are off the December bottom for sure
Prices for dreck and stuff are weaker across all platforms and premiums have come way down
The market is still trying to figure out the grading hierarchy and how to profit from it with new player CACG shaking things up....we still do not have enough coins in the marketplace across all categories and grades to see what the ultimate effect will be. Crack outs seem to be going in both directions and it seems that ultimately, this will be confusing to the consumer and the market place for some time.
Tons of coins at very attractive prices are available...we are offered a lot of coins daily from our wholesalers, dealer friends, and of course the public.
Our coin of the day.....is a gorgeous 1880/9-S Morgan Silver Dollar graded PCGS MS 66+ and CAC approved for superior eye appeal. She exhibits minimal amount of abrasions and very nice luster. The coin is totally original in our opinion. Look at the true view below:
