What does it feel like to buy an 1804 Dollar? The 1804 Dollar has long been regarded as the "King of American Coins" and those that have had the good fortune (in luck and dollars) to be able to own one over the years are often as colorful and interesting as the coins themselves.

In this episode of the CoinWeek Podcast we talk to mega-collector Bruce Morelan about his recent purchase of the "Dexter" 1804 Dollar and how the Pogue Collection, from which it came, rates among the all time greats.

It's no secret that some U.S. Mint new release products take on a life of their own after their initial release on the secondary market.

Coin dealer Lee Crane has been in the business for more than 30 years. His company L&C Coins markets in modern and classic certified coins, so he has ridden the tide of new release madness and crashed against the rocks of overheated expectations.

In this episode of the CoinWeek Podcast we have an honest talk about the 2017-S Congratulations Set, including the unexpected S-Mint American Silver Eagle Proof, what went wrong with the 2014 Kennedy Gold Proof, and why the 2017 Gold $100 isn't selling well.

Upper Deck took the trading card hobby by storm in 1989 with the launch of the industry's first premium baseball card. Using high quality photography, forward-thinking graphic design, and a counterfeit-proof hologram, the Upper Deck brand immediately established itself as the premier name in an industry synonymous with bubble gum cards. It didn't hurt that Ken Griffey, Jr.'s rookie card was the first card in the set.

In 2017, Upper Deck will launch another first - blind pack modern precious medal coins as part of its newly launched Grandeur Hockey Coin Collection, which was unveiled on April 4, at the NHL Hall of Fame in Toronto.

We talk to Upper Deck president Jason Masherah about the program and what it was like for the trading card publisher to enter the modern coin arena for the first time.
