What's Hot, What's Not: The US Rare Gold Coin Market In 2015/2016

Doug Winter Numismatics - As is tradition at DWN, at the end of every year we summarize our experiences buying and selling choice and rare United States gold coins and attempt to predict what will be the "hot" and "not so hot" areas in the market. We base this primarily on our experience: determining what sells quickly off our website (www.raregoldcoins.com), which coins get multiple orders, what sort of feedback we get from collectors, the want lists we receive, our experiences(s) at shows and auctions, and good old "gut instinct."

I would regard 2015 as a mixed year for the coin market but an above-average market for dated gold. Unlike such market areas as Gem Seated and Barber silver coinage, Colonials, Large Cents and early type, there were monumental offerings the size and scope of Pogue, Gardner, Kendall, Partrick, Twin Leaf, Newman, Greensboro and more which had a huge impact on the supply of many rare and expensive United States coins. There haven't been any really profound offerings of dated gold flooding the market in a number of years and as a result the supply and demand ratio is still manageable. If anything (and I want to be careful here about not "getting what I wish for.") the supply of nice, DWN-quality dated gold is lower than ever.

What are some of the areas which, in my opinion, look to be hot in 2016?
