Heritage to Host Palm Beach Signature Auction

Dallas, Texas: The Heritage Palm Beach Signature Auction will be held Nov. 4 to 6 at the Palm Beach Convention Center. Heritage is the official auctioneer and sponsor of the Palm Beach Coin Show, a new and promising major venue. The six-session sale features 5,548 lots. In addition to the Signature sale, the Palm Beach Bullet Auction will take place online Monday, November 8 at Heritage's award-winning website.

"The Palm Beach Signature Auction is stocked with rarities worthy of the most advanced collection," asserted Heritage President Greg Rohan. "A Cohen-4 1793 Half Cent, MS64 Brown PCGS, has beautiful chocolate-brown color and ranks among the finest certified examples. Every collector dreams of owning a 1792 Half Disme, and a piece graded VF25 by PCGS provides a rare opportunity. A 1916 Standing Liberty Quarter is a key date in any grade, but the Palm Beach auction has an originally toned Gem certified as MS66 Full Head by NGC."
