Legend Numismatics has been following the horrible situation in Thailand with the trapped soccer team. We pray for their safe return. With the greatest experts in the world working on it, we can only pray they can get the job done. It was sad they lost a member of that team trying to save the boys. That man was a true hero. So far so good!
KABOOM!
That was the name of our favorite fireworks in Red bank NJ they used to have. It was always billed as the only show close to Macy’s in NYC for content. Sadly, it ran out of money (Springsteen used to pay $100G towards it when his kids were young) and now it is a smaller town affair. In our coin biz last week, on July 1st (a Sunday of all days), we experienced a real KABOOM! Out of almost thin air from noon until 9 PM we sold in excess of $150,000.00-all off our web site. Coins like the 10C 1853 W/A PCGS PR65 CAC, $1 1863 PCGS PR66 Cameo CAC, $5 1807 PCGS MS64 and several other five figure coins were sold, We were stunned. This past week we expected zero. Of course after that we just sold a minor coin or two each day as expected. You just never know.
We do believe we are in the summer doldrums. However, they just might not be as dead as they can be. At the last minute we have decided to attend FUN in Orlando and take a table (#822). The interesting fact-we know 2-3 others who are now going as well (seems we all decided at the same time there was some activity this year).
Right now its really soup to nuts selling. We would never in a million years have guessed we sold what we did on a July 1st-a Sunday no less. We’d be shocked if this week came any where near last weeks sales-out side of the show. Now through ANA we doubt any major deals or fresh million dollar plus coins will surface. So it will be a slow one coin at a time.
Gold is still heavy in demand-when you can find any true nice pieces. The premiums are down as is spot which makes this a great time to buy. If you wait until ANA to buy generic gold coins, they probably will end up costing you more. If you want to buy on the cheap and by pass PCGS CAC pieces, remember our motto-“cheap is not cheap enough”.
The best thing to do right now is shop and cut deals. Save for one dealer on a red hot streak, there is no dealer we know (including us) who will not listen to or pass on any reasonable offer. Do know, today cash is absolutely king! At ANA you will be involved in competition even on the bourse floor to buy nice coins, so you will have to pay a bit more.
