Modern Gold Rarities

Gold is beginning to reestablish itself in the the general consciousness as a time tested store of value and coin collectors have taken notice. Many coins and medals from the mid 20th century that were once bullion pieces are now hotly pursued collector's items. And Central Government mints in Paris, London, Utrecht, Jablonec, and British dependencis like Alderney, Ascension Island and St Helena and others are getting a piece of the action with new limited edition pieces sometimes with mintages as low as 20 pieces. Central Mints in Paris and London have even been striking "trial pieces" that are 1 of 1 and certain special restrikes for collectors that also appear to be 1 of 1. The market will set its own price for these modern rarities. And coins that once were sold by bulk bullion dealers have now made their way into the world's most exclusive collector auctions.
