Heritage Coins Over $2 Million

The Charles I Gold Triple Unite 1643, Oxford Mint that realized $431,250.00.  

Heritage World Coin Auctions just held its latest Signature auction on June 2-3, in Long Beach, CA. It was part of Heritage Numismatic Auctions, Inc. (HNAI) official auction for the Long Beach Coin Expo. The results from this part of the auction are so special that they need to be isolated from the rest of the weekend's activities

When the final hammer fell, the overall total for the auction was $2,077,637 and 97.64% of the lots listed were sold. Those who attended the Long Beach Coin Show as well as those who were there for just the auction reported an exciting weekend for all involved.

"I'm thrilled by the results of this auction," said Warren Tucker, Director of HWCA. "We had some rare and exciting coins in this auction, and bidders responded enthusiastically. I'm particularly pleased by the high level of participation we saw during this event, and the spectacular percentage of lots sold. Collectors today are grabbing every great world coin they can find, leaving very few pieces on the table when an auction comes to a close."

"The star of the show was undoubtedly the Charles I Gold Triple Unite 1643," Tucker continued. "This coin was a particular pleasure, as its $431,250 result is a new record for its type, and the second highest price ever realized for a British coin."

The Long Beach World Coin Signature Auction included the Tortuga Collection of Latin American Coinage, as well as an extensive collection of 250+ Germanic coins, including 15 multiple talers.
