Predicting the Value of Modern World Coins

Market forces working toward rare modern world coins are collectability, precious metal trading value, and value of the dollar as well as others including the mintage. Understanding these market forces enables investors and collectors alike to understand and predict the value of coins. Predicting the moving landscape of these forces collectively is the process for a collector’s investment success.

One of the greatest and often unpredictable forces of a coins availability and subsequent market price is collectability. Trends in coins collectability point at historic events, sets, mintages, and themes. Traditional collectable themes include cars to animals, minis to tigers. Shipping today is the just released Perth Mint 2010 Year of the Tiger Gold Proof and Silver Proof. The collectability of these coins is high. The mintage is low. And the quality is excellent.
