AoC Market Analysis - Proof Three Cent Nickels AoC Market Analysis: Proof 3-Cent Nickels with the Most Bang for Your Buck - This week, we look at 3-Cent Nickels. 3-Cent Nickels make lovely type coins.

AoC Market Analysis: 1979-S Lincolns Pennies AoC Market Analysis: Modern Coin Prices Through the Lens of 1979-S Proof Lincolns - Top modern coin prices seem to be falling. Every time I look at a price guide, I see more red than green in desirable grade modern coins. This isn’t universal. There are certainly modern coins that are appreciating.

AOC Market Analysis of the 1958 Franklin - $100,000+ Market Analysis: The $100,000 Franklin - It was as if millions of coin collectors gasped in shock and were suddenly silenced.

AoC Market Analysis: Capped Bust Half Dollars in the Age of Registries Market Analysis: The Impact of Advancing Set Registries on Capped Bust Half Dollars - Capped Bust Half Dollars. I let out a loving sigh. Ahem. Registry Sets have had a huge impact on coin collecting. In addition to gamifying the hobby, they’ve pushed collectors to be competitive.

AoC Market Analysis: 1792 Gold Washington, 1854-S $5 Market Analysis: A Tale of Two Two Million Million Gold Coins - It’s somewhat incredible that a 1913 V Nickel, an 1854-S $5 and the 1792 Gold Washington could sell in the same week. “A Nickel, a $5 and a 1792 Eagle walk into a bar…” Last week, we compared the Proof 66 Eliasberg (single-finest-known) 1913 Liberty Nickel to a couple of other major collectibles that sold
