Numismatics:
The city of Baltimore offers a beautiful and renovated Inner Harbor area, the venerable Orioles baseball team, and probably the best crab cakes on earth. The city was very crowded last week with coin dealers from across the nation; but they weren’t there to enjoy the sights. They were there to conduct business at the Whitman Coin and Currency Expo. APMEX returned from the Baltimore coin show with renewed confidence in the rare coin market and significant new inventory! If you were to ask the majority of dealers in attendance there, they would all say that the show was a rousing success! Although the convention was shortened by one day from previous sessions (there was no Sunday activity), the dealers conducted enough business to make the trip to Maryland worthwhile.
We bought and bought and bought! Nathan, Robyn and Mike kept the US Post Office booth very busy mailing package after package of coins back to Oklahoma. The highly sought after 2009 Ultra High Relief Gold Coins were on everyone’s shopping list and there were only a few available at the entire show! These beautiful coins are very hard to get and no gold collection is complete without one! Beyond modern rarities, the reliable Morgan Silver Dollar was another very popular item at the show – in conditions from culls to Gems! We bought thousands of them!
Proof sets, Barber coins, early Lincoln cents, Large Size US Currency and all denominations of pre-1933 US Gold coins rounded out much of our new purchases.

And continue to look at these links over the next few days as we list more and more of these wonderful new items for your collections!
