One of America’s greatest numismatic treasures has traded hands in a private-treaty sale. The finest-known “Ultra-High Relief,” graded Proof-69 both by NGC and PCGS, was purchased by Certified Assets Management (CAMI) of Wilmington, Delaware, from Heritage Auction Galleries of Dallas, Texas acting on behalf their client-owner, who remains a significant owner and collector of American numismatic rarities.

This rarity was last offered publicly in the Heritage auction of the Philip Morse collection of St. Gaudens twenties in November of 2005, where it realized $2,990,000, a record at the time.

While the actual price was not disclosed, both parties confirm that the new price substantially exceeds the previous auction price.
