In this episode of Hard Money Matters, host Kyle Warren and guest John Maybin, owner of Pegasus Coin and Jewelry in Bradenton, dive into the world of coins and precious metals. They discuss the U.S. Mint’s 25th anniversary Sacagawea dollar, a limited-edition 24-karat gold coin with a mintage of 7,500, which sold out quickly and is now fetching high prices on the secondary market. John advises caution on its investment potential due to historical trends with similar low-mintage coins. The conversation also covers the lack of popularity of dollar coins like the Sacagawea and Susan B. Anthony, the challenges of collecting paper money compared to coins, and the risks of counterfeiting in both. They explore the surge in coin show popularity, the benefits of dealing with reputable dealers, and the impact of a recent Florida law removing a $500 tax threshold for coin and bullion sales. The episode concludes with a memorable story about a house call evaluation of a coin collection, highlighting the importance of trust and expertise in the industry.
