Does the price of gold or silver bullion have any bearing on the price of rare coins?
For high quality coins the effect of bullion price movements is minimal, if any. Lower quality coins whose values are determined mainly by their bullion content, i.e. 80% or more of their price is based on bullion content, will be greatly affected by bullion movement. Q: What does “certified” mean? Certification by one of the recognized independent grading firms such as the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) or Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) provides the assurance that your coin is not a counterfeit and will be accepted by most buyers and sellers at the grade represented.In addition, the tamper-proof encapsulation of the coin provided by either service will provide for the physical protection of the coin itself. Q: Who keeps me informed about the market? IRCBS currently provides newsletters on various aspects on the market as well as maintaining a website on rare coins. You may request up-to-date values for your specific portfolio at least annually or other periods as need
