NumisMedia Weekly Market Report
Gardner Collection: Over $33 Million and Counting
November 3, 2014
In the aftermath of last week's major downturn in the metals, many Gold and Silver buyers are becoming alarmed about the near term direction. Some feel the metals are searching for new lower base prices and the so-called improved economy may help push prices even lower. Many of us are still having a difficult time recognizing the improvement. Gold is currently trading at $1,167 and Silver is $16.15. One ounce Proof Gold Eagles are wholesaling at $1,352; that is down $78 in one week. Proof Silver Eagles have dropped to $47.
Last week's Heritage Auctions sale in New York City, Part II of the Eugene H. Gardner Collection resulted in nearly $14 million in prices realized. Combined with the previous sale, Part I of the Gardner Collection, which took place back in June of this year, this collection has now realized over $33 million. There are two more planned sales for this collection to be scheduled in 2015. Below are some of the many highlights from the latest sale of this tremendous collection.

With Gold down about $60 since the last printed HD Price Guide, it is no wonder that the majority of the adjustments this week in the Gold charts are to the downside. Common date $20 Liberty Gold is lower in grades Good all the way up to MS63 where the current Market price is $1,560. Common date Saints are down in all grades from Good through MS66, which is at $2,150 Market. However, there are plenty of better to rare dates still in demand and many show advances. For example, the 1862 S $20 Gold is higher in MS61 at $15,750 and the 1863 in AU55 is up to $14,500.
