If you're wondering what the rare coin market outlook is for 2012, then this video could help answer your questions. It's a video interview with Steve Ivy, CEO of HA.com.

Steve was interviewed in the run-up to a series of coin auctions which are being held in Long Beach, California, US.

Long Beach is perhaps best-known for hosting some of the world's biggest and best car auctions. Yet, when it comes to drawing huge bids at auction, rare coins are just as formidable as 'alternative assets'.

For instance, look at these specimens which we have for sale...
