The Central States Numismatic Convention in Milwaukee has concluded and we will have some new offerings from the show up on the site in just a few days.  You may have noticed we aren't coming home from the major coin shows with as many coins as we were in previous years. I can remember a time when some of the major wholesalers would have an entire showcase full of beautiful Ultra Cameo Proof Types.  Beautiful Proof Gold coins were in abundance...but in today's market, you are out of luck in finding this type material.  The coin market has essentially dried up for the type of coins we have always traded.  This makes our job that more difficult, but we refuse to lower our standards! 

 As always, we strive to offer our clients only the finest in rarity and eye-appeal. This is where our clients can make a difference.  Consider consigning coins to ARC; we will place them on our website and market them in numerous publications.  We are aware that we have acquired our best coins from you...not in the marketplace.  Now more than ever this is the case.

 Albanese Rare Coins has taken pride in placing very special coins, coins that are PQ for the grade and coins that are irreplaceable.  We do our best to fill wantlists and find that "needle in a haystack"...just for you!  So don't hesitate to let us know what you are looking for, an email or phone call is much appreciated.

You may also have noticed that we are now selling bullion coins.  We have always made a market in rare coins, but we realize that some of our clients also want to secure some precious metals in order to stay the course in these precarious financial times.  More about that later, but please contact us for your bullion needs.
