Heritage CSNS Bullet Auction Breaks $750,000 Barrier

Dallas, TX -- Heritage's Central States Bullet Auction, which closed Sunday night, April 28, smashed all previous bullet auction records, selling 2,437 lots (94.49%) for a total sell-through of $751,287. There were 479 successful bidders, out of 906 bidders participating.

"This was our best Bullet auction ever," according to Heritage Co-Chairman Steve Ivy, “not just in terms of selection and sell-through, but also in terms of bidder participation. We’re rapidly closing in on the 1,000-bidder mark, which a few years ago would have been unheard of even for a Signature auction."

Heritage’s Bullet auctions are posted at Heritage’s award winning website, http://www.HeritageCoin.com, and are also displayed in person at the coin convention with which they are associated, in this case, the Central States Numismatic Society in Columbus, Ohio. Every single-coin lot includes full-color enlargeable images of the obverse and reverse, latest population and third-party pricing data, and comparable auction records to help bidders determine their bids with confidence. Heritage Coin members who sign up with My WantList™ online are automatically notified whenever specific coins they need are posted for bidding.
