akdrv Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 In spite of a strong medals and tokens auction on July 15, Presidential Coin and Antique Company president H. Joseph Levine said he still thinks the medals market is way undervalued. "Some of these medals, there were only one hundred struck. If they were coins, they'd bring one hundred thousand dollars. As medals, some sell for one thousand dollars or less. Our top hard times store token in this sale is one of only two known. It brought twenty-six thousand four hundred fifty dollars [includes buyer's premium], a good price, but not up to coin standards. One of two known in a coin would be in the millions." http://www.maineantiquedigest.com/articles...dential1106.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 There are a lot more buyers for high priced coins than for high priced medals/tokens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 And it also depends on the specific item in question. There are plenty of unique coins which sell for <$500, so there's plenty of bias in that guy's statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
