News about 50th anniversary Kennedy coins continued to capture collectors’ attention but other stories vied for the weekly Most Read.
CoinNews’ readership almost normalized without headlines of new Kennedy coins to compete against summer and back-to-school activities.
Most of our own staff was away for the week, taking some time off following a very busy schedule. We come back refreshed, looking to finish more stories about our recent trip to the West Point Mint before we head back on the road again.
Of the 17 published articles last week, two about Kennedy coins were among the most read. News about new Canadian coins were popular as well. Here are last week’s most read:

Mad Dash for 1964-2014 Kennedy Gold Coins Captured on TV – Seeing is believing. There was crazy-like gold fever in the air last week. The U.S. Mint’s suspension of in-person purchases of 1964-2014 50c Kennedy gold coins became clearer after watching raw footage of people running toward the retail shop at the U.S. Mint in Denver…
Do you mean to tell me that not every person surfing the Internet for coin articles reads every single article of yours and prints it out and frames it like I do? 🙂
