Rare Coins Rise, Pinnacle Sets Standard June 2005 With the stock market still recovering from the spectacular burst of the technology bubble, many investors are looking to hedge their investments with something that traditionally does well during down times - bullion. As the value of precious metals rises, the associated market for rare coins is going up right along with it. All of this is good news for collectors, many of whom have been investing in coins for years - not because they hope to turn a huge profit, but because they are passionate about the beauty and history of this unique investment vehicle. As with any other investment, rare coins suffer their share of unscrupulous dealers. Collectors must take care to educate themselves and work only with established, reputable coin experts. Pinnacle Rarities, Inc., one of the most respected dealers in high-grade, certified U.S. coinage, recently launched a completely redesigned website showcasing their valuable inventory and providing expanded services to clients (www.pinnacle-rarities.com). Frontline Solutions designed and developed the website, which incorporates powerful inventory search capability, customer want lists, and a wealth of informative articles and information to help new and experienced coin collectors manage their investments. Behind the scenes, Pinnacle implemented a comprehensive inventory and sales management application, also developed by Frontline Solutions, that interacts with the website. The new application streamlines administrative functions, allowing Pinnacle staff to handle their growing business while at the same time providing the high-quality, personal customer care they're known for.
