AbaCoin partners with Heritage Numismatic Auctions to enhance AbaWant
Deals with other major auction houses in the works
Belmont, MA: In an effort to help coin collectors build their collections even faster, Collector Technologies, Inc. has
launched a new feature in it's web site - http://www.abacoin.com - allowing users to
view and even bid on coins that will be selling in upcoming auctions.
"While abacoin remains committed to our mission of providing a buy/sell exchange for our members, we recognize that
many numismatic rarities are often traded through an auction forum. By partnering with leading numismatic auction houses,
we can ensure that our collectors are aware of nearly every coin that is currently on the market" says John Zuk, Founder
and CEO. He continues, "…Heritage Numismatic Auctions (HNA) redefined the coin auction model by holding their sales in
conjunction with major coin shows around the country. In keeping with our motto of Just Like Going to a Coin Show, we
think the combination of auction preview lots and coins available for sale delivers the best of both worlds to our members."
AbaCoin shoppers see HNAI auction lots listed alongside coins for sale. If they choose, they can go right to the Heritage
web site and bid directly on the coin - without leaving their computer keyboard! Listings from other leading numismatic
auction houses are underway, and will be rolled out shortly.
