The Cincinnati Collection of U.S. Gold Coins To Sell at Heritage's FUN 2005 Signature Auction

Dallas, Texas: Heritage Numismatic Auctions will be selling the Cincinnati Collection of American Gold Coins in their upcoming FUN Signature Auction, to take place January 12 to 15 in Fort Lauderdale.

"The Cincinnati Collection," noted Heritage President Greg Rohan, "was put together by a very private gentleman from the Midwest, who spent years pursuing the most attractive gold rarities - especially in the AU-grade - that he could find. He thought that the AU-grade was the zenith of value, balancing eye-appeal with prices well-below uncirculated levels. The value of these rarities is undisputed, with the 88 coins in this collection reaching into the multi-millions of dollars."
