This is THE episode of the CoinWeek Podcast that you will want to listen to, if you want to learn exactly how the coin market works on the inside.

Doug Winter is a lifelong devotee to the rare coin market, and expert on American gold coins and their varieties, and a published author and blogger, who is one of the leading experts in American numismatics.

Doug and Charles cover a lot of ground in this episode, talking about what's in store for the 2018 coin market, how collectors can misread auction records to their detriment, what dealer codewords you should look for in articles and in person, and why in the internet age, you absolutely can't go it alone.
