.- Longtime collectors said goodbye to their treasures and new clients set world record-prices in Heritage Auctions' Jan. 21-25 numismatic events totaling more than $90.68 million.
Total sales of U.S. coins and currency and World coins and paper money reached $90,687,367 during auctions scheduled in lieu of the Florida United Numismatists and the New York International Numismatic conventions. Both live events were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic; instead, their auctions took place in Dallas.
"Six coins broke the million-dollar mark and five world records were set some by new clients who had never before purchased a coin before joining Heritage," said James Halperin, Co-Founder of Heritage Auctions. "We are truly honored to be chosen to bring these collections to auction, as well as to serve our clients during this unprecedented era."
