COIN VISION 20/20

BY JOSHUA MCMORROW-HERNANDEZ

The year 2020 is upon us. How will the first year of the ‘20s of the 21st century unfold? Numismatic prognostication is difficult in this era of economic, demographic, and sociopolitical transition. We’re closing out 2020 with U.S. President Donald Trump facing impeachment, trade wars between the United States and China, continued instability in the Middle East, and increasing concern over climate change and its eff ects on the global community. What does this mean for the coin market? A lot, really. Metals markets have responded to these and numerous other tensions by posting significant gains in 2019.
