Coin Collecting NewsHeritage to Auction Kaufman’s Seated Proofs
Heritage will conduct the official American Numismatic Association auction in Milwaukee, and a Platinum Night event will be featured on Aug. 9, during which the first part of the Phil Kaufman collection will be offered.
Kaufman assembled one of the top all-time collections of proof Seated Liberty coins, many of which were earlier in some of the best collections ever. One highlight is Kaufman’s 1853 quarter, with arrows and rays, that is certified Proof-66 Cameo by Numismatic Guaranty Corp.
Kaufman’s collection will be sold in parts, with additional selections tentatively planned to be offered at Heritage’s September Long Beach auction and at the January Florida United Numismatists auction in Orlando. Earlier in this decade, Heritage sold many (or all?) of Kaufman’s proof Seated Liberty coins dating from 1859 to 1891. My impression is that Kaufman then retained his coins dating from the 1830s to 1858. Proofs from the 1838-1858 period are very rare.
