The total prices realized in our early November Signature Auction in Dallas have exceeded $7 million. With an additional $1 million from the subsequent Final Session Auction, our early November Dallas events exceeded $8 million in sales. A second Signature event will be held at the end of the month at the Money Show of the Southwest, taking place in Houston on November 29-30. Descriptions and images of all sold lots from the Dallas event are currently posted at www.HA.com/Coins, as are the lots for the Houston event (now available for bidding).

We continue to be pleased with outstanding collector participation in our auctions; including the Final Session we have had some four thousand bidders participating. It is no surprise to us that Internet bidders once again won the lion’s share of coins in this auction, and Heritage Live Bidders are growing stronger with every event.

Registry-level coins from all series continue to be strong, as collectors are willing to pay handsomely for the finest pieces known. Our year-end events continue to be extremely successful, and we are looking forward to our Houston Signature Auction later this month. (more…)
