Why Rarity is Always Important to Rare Coin Collectors

morgan dollarsCollectors always love to own what other people can't have.  That's why quality, rarity, and price are the most important factors to consider before you buy any rare coin. Other factors are also important like eye appeal, artistic merit, historical significance, and precise state of preservation.

Most Coins Destroyed During the U.S. Gov't Recall - Today, all US Mint gold coins struck from 1795 through 1933 are highly collectible, many are quite rare. When first minted, they were circulated to the public as the "money of the day," the overwhelming majority were worn out and melted down within a few years. The majority of surviving U.S. gold coins were melted down when the U.S. Gov't recalled gold from its citizens in 1933 during the Great Depression.

Millions of Coins Melted in the 1980's - Literally millions of the surviving US Mint gold coins were melted down in the 1980's when gold soared to $850 an ounce. That's why U.S. gold coins minted before 1933, trade at significant premiums today. Likewise, the circulating silver coinage completely disappeared in the 1980's when silver soared to the unprecedented high of $50/oz. The entire coin collecting hobby was changed forever during that decade. After the meltdowns, rare coins enjoyed an historic revival and have proven to be extremely profitable from the period of 1970 through the present. Today, the rarest and best preserved coins command top prices from rare coin collectors and investors.

Most Modern Coins Are Not Rare - Many novice collectors mistakenly think of modern American Eagles as "rare" coins. Yet, American Eagles in some sizes are minted by the millions each year and most are carefully preserved. They typically trade at small premiums over their gold content and are extremely unlikely to be collectibles for over 25 years. However, there are important exceptions where small mintages of under 50,000 have shown significant gains.

High Demand, Fixed Supply for Truly Rare Coins - Today, the base of U.S. Rare Coin collectors is large and growing, creating high demand on the strictly fixed, limited supply of US Mint coins. During years when demand for gold is high or the Rare Coin Market is hot, demand outpaces the fixed and limited supply of Pre-1933 coins. That's why rare coin prices can be so highly volatile to the upside with 300% to 500% increases common in recent bull markets.

Rare Coins Headed for a Bull Market - The Rare Coin Market has been hot in the last few years and moving into what we believe is another bull market cycle. At any point in time, certain coins may be performing very well while other areas may be quiet. That's why it's important to talk to Rare Coin Specialists to find out the current status. Some collectors will prefer to focus on the hottest areas of the market while investors may be "value seekers" looking for the best quality coins that are the most undervalued at the moment.
