  WALL STREET JOURNAL NOTES RISE IN GOLD COIN PRICES
  

  The Friday February 24 issue of The Wall Street Journal
  included a short article about the rise in numismatic gold
  prices, mentioning recent sales of the Brasher Doubloon and
  the 1927-D double eagle:
  

  "Rising global gold prices are giving a Midas-like boost
  to collectible gold coins."
  

  "If it's a gold coin, we can't keep it on the shelf," says
  Greg Roberts, president of the North American coin division
  of Escala."
  

  "Tory Prestera, an eye surgeon from San Diego, started
  collecting coins two years ago and says gold's high price has
  encouraged him to add more gold coins to his collection. One
  recent purchase: An 1898 gold piece that cost about $135,000.
  He stores the real thing with the rest of his collection in a
  bank-deposit box, but keeps a photo of his favorite as his
  computer screensaver. "My wife isn't too impressed," he says.
  "But to me it's like looking at treasure."
