Hidden Value in Plain Sight
June 4, 2026
Well, my fellow coindexters, the summer season is finally upon us — especially here in my native New Hampshire, as I believe we dodged the last gasp of Old Man Winter this past weekend. Still not wanting to give up, he mustered up gale-force winds and heavy rain that produced a cold front, which came racing through and brought temperatures down to as low as 38 degrees on Saturday morning! With the driving rain and chilly upper-level winds, there was a bit of the white stuff swirling in the air. Egad!
Ahh, today is a wonderful, bright, sunny day, sitting at about 85 degrees. I do believe that summer — that wonderful season — is here to stay. I think, for most folks — coindexters included — that the summer season is more than welcome. Extended daylight leads to more leisurely outdoor activities. Yard work and gardening are preferred to digging out several feet of snow, I say! Of course, travel plans for vacations and family outings are already in the works. That s why, not that very long ago, the summer season regarding the numismatic market was often referred to as "the doldrums."
