Market Updates The rare coin market is quite strong in most areas. US Type Gold has had a great year and still offers excellent opportunities for both collector and investor. Please click on RARE COIN INVESTMENT for detailed information. I personally feel that there are some real bargains available in the current rare coin marketplace. Any early low mintage US dated gold would be a strong buy. Stick with high-end-for-the-grade pieces with above average eye appeal. The US dollar market is very strong right now but shows no signs of weakness. Better dates are a strong buy, particurly Carson City material.
