As we move into the final quarter of the year, we’re thrilled to report that 98% of coins from our producing countries have now been entered into the NumisMaster database. This year alone, we’ve added more than 6,700 coins and over 3,700 images, with more updates on the horizon. The days of cataloging just 2,500 coins annually are far behind us. Additionally, we’re pleased to announce that the monthly “What’s New in NumisMaster” updates will now be accessible in the Articles section of our database for easy reference.
Featured Coin: The 2024 Frost Dragon (KM# 767)
From Mint XXI’s Dragonology series, the Frost Dragon coin is a masterpiece of modern minting, crafted for the Republic of Cameroon. Struck in 2 ounces of 0.999 fine silver, this 2024 coin boasts a diameter of 50mm and features stunning high relief with intricate digital printing. The design highlights every scale and the vibrant blue accents of the dragon, offering collectors a truly striking piece. Notably, the 2023 edition from the same series was nominated for the prestigious Coin of the Year award.
Metals and Market Updates
In early September, we conducted our quarterly metals pricing updates, reflecting changes in gold, silver, platinum, and palladium values. This extensive update adjusted over 25,000 pricing fields, including melt values for coins composed of these metals. Alongside these updates, we tackled special projects based on subscriber feedback.
Highlights include comprehensive price revisions for 20th-century coins from Biafra and Serbia, as well as updates to modern and 20th-century coins from Canada, Switzerland, and Australia. Additionally, pricing for 21st-century coins from Barbados, Colombia, Ivory Coast, and Mongolia received notable adjustments. Some standout results include a rare Leprosarian token from Colombia that fetched an impressive auction price, and an 1891 ultra-rare coin from the Netherlands. Bulgarian coins from the 19th and 20th centuries also saw significant value increases due to a rising market for high-grade rarities.
