Phil Kaufman’s Early Seated Proof Sets Begin Auction Appearances at Heritage’s Milwaukee ANA Event

Dallas, TX: Phil Kaufman’s superlative collection of Early Seated Proof Sets (1839-1858) is being offered by Dallas-based Heritage Auction Galleries in a series of events starting with the August 8-10, 2007 ANA World’s Fair of Money Platinum Night Auction in Milwaukee.

“Mr. Kaufman’s Collection is so extensive - and so valuable,” noted Heritage President Greg Rohan, “that we will be offering important pieces over four of our Signature/Platinum Night auctions during the coming year. Mr. Kaufman wanted to start this process in Milwaukee at the Official Auction of the summer ANA, as this represents one of the most important venues of the year. Milwaukee marks Heritage’s 36th selection as the Official ANA Auctioneer.”

“Mr. Kaufman is an extraordinary collector,” continued Rohan. “We started selling important selections from his collections in 2002, and have successfully concluded more than a half dozen separate consignments. He has been so pleased with his results that we are now privileged to offer his beloved early Seated silver proofs.”

    This coin sold at the 2007 Milwaukee, WI (ANA) Signature Coin Auction #444 as Lot 1802 and realized $54,625.00.

    It has a POP of 4 in 66 with only one finer.

    This is a great date (proof only) and although the coin is a bit dark, it has beautiful surfaces.

    As to value, in todays market, that could be anyone’s guess. All it takes is two people who have to own this coin and the price goes through the roof. This is a coin that will do best at a large auction,

    I would say that YES the coin is worth holding onto but it all depends upon what your collecting interests are
