The concept of certified coins came about in the 1970's. The American Numismatic Association (ANA) a national collector/dealer organization started a grading service called American Numismatic Association Certification Service (ANACS). They were one of the first companies to certify  coins, with a third party unbiased grading opinion, while authenticating the coin; and why was this necessary? Before the concept of "certification", counterfeit and altered coins were not unheard of in the marketplace.
Collectors and investors, needed a way to safeguard their collections, and investments. Thus, certified coins became an important facet of of the rare coin market. So do you really need your coins to be certified? The answer is quickly YES!
In the 1986 PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service) followed a year later by NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation), started to grade and authenticate coins, but they placed their coins in protective plastic holders, nicknamed slabs. Thus, was born the current version of certified coins.
Certified coin grading has dramatically changed the coin market! The changes have been a positive for the collector, as well as dealers. If a coin is certified, the respective company guarantees the authenticity as well as the grade of that coin. So that beginning collector has some guarantees, until such time as his own grading skills could be honed.
Robert S. Riemer, RSR Coins, was one of the early coin dealers recognized as a supporter of  the certified coin market. In the 1980's we published  newsletters entitled, REPORT ON ANACS COINS, followed by REPORT ON CERTIFIED COINS. Today the top two grading services in the certified coin market are PCGS and NGC. We are authorized PCGS and NGC dealers.

First of all, I would like to wish all our customers a very happy new year! I hope that 2010 will be a better year for the economy and for all of us. I have been in the coin business for over 30 years, and found 2009 one of the slowest sales years that I can remember. In the first month of 2010 more coin buyers are here! It seems the coin collectors and investors are back! Trying to find key dates is not easy. So if you want to add to your collection, now may be the time, before prices take off! So, don't wait too long.

As for GOLD, that is a whole different ball game! Expecting a worsening dollar, gold has taken off, as well as silver and platinum! Gold hit new records of OVER $1200., with in my opinion profit-taking the major reason for the price pullback. Where gold will go in 2010 is anyone's guess, but I personally think we will see new world record prices for the yellow metal.
GOLD Settles Back to $1100.  - PROFIT-TAKING!
