Heritage's NYC Auctions Top $5 Million

DALLAS, TEXAS: Heritage Numismatic Auctions' annual New York City Signature Auction, held June 29-30 at the Grand Hyatt, realized $4,786,163 purchased by 583 successful bidders. Adding results from the 365 successful bidders who won $420,632 at the NYC Bullet Auction (which closed Monday evening) brings the total to over $5.2 million already, plus any After Auction sales (still ongoing). A total of 2,984 bidders participated in the NYC auctions.

"This was another very successful auction," noted HNAI President Greg Rohan. "New York has always been very good to us, and we're always pleased with the enthusiasm of the Big Apple bidders. Our important anchor consignments - the Stig Ericsson and Empire State Collections - performed very well in this auction. We note continued demand for coins of the highest quality, and rarity is definitely a key factor in the purchase decision. This dual hunt for quality and rarity bodes well for our upcoming 2005 San Francisco ANA Signature Auction."
