John B. Hamrick & Co. announces upcoming sale of the Old Roswell Mill Collection

The Roswell collection was formed by a prominent Roswell business man with the assistance of John B. Hamrick. This collection contains 33 of the coins as listed in Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth’s book “America’s Greatest 100 Coins.” In addition this collection contains many of America’s other great rarities which are seldom offered for sale. Many of these coins are in top condition and amongst the finest known.

There are too many coins to list. Hamrick states, “This is one of the most important collections of major U.S. rarities accumulated by a single individual in the past 20 years. Furthermore, I feel that the Roswell Collection will be the sale of the year.”

Hamrick notes that many of the coins are to be offered for sale at the Central States Numismatic Convention to the held in Chicago in mid April. The coins will be on display and sold at Booth #900. An armed guard will be present at all times. There is the possibility that the collection will be sold intact prior to the Convention.
