Proof Gold Stars at Heritage’s $10 Million Phoenix ANA Signature Auction
Dallas, TX. The Official Auction of the ANA’s Phoenix National Money Show, presented by Heritage Auction Galleries March 6-7 has concluded, with prices realized close to $10 million; this marked Heritage’s 37th official auction on behalf of the American Numismatic Association. Prices realized from the 2,000 lots included in the event currently stand at $9,671,627; after adding proceeds from all Post Auction Buys, total prices are expected to exceed $10 million. Images, descriptions, and prices realized are currently posted at Heritage’s HA.com website.
“As expected,” commented Heritage President Greg Rohan, “Phoenix will be remembered for the incredible gold proofs of the Ultra Collection, which realized in excess of $2.4 million. Bidding was furious on most of these wonderful coins, with the bidders in the room vying against strong bids from the Internet, telephone, and Heritage Live. The specialists and the type collectors who demand the very best had many coins from which to choose.”
“Highlights from the auction include Lot 1766, a 1907 $20 Wire Rim High Relief, certified MS69 by PCGS, formerly in the Trompeter Collection and the Phillip H. Morse Collection of Saint-Gaudens Coinage, which realized $517,500.
Another important piece from the Ultra Collection was Lot 1451, an 1880 Flowing Hair Stella ($4), Judd-1657, Pollock-1857, certified PR66 Cameo by NGC, which realized $488,750. (more…)
