Two Auctions Are Better Than One

July 24, 2017

This year’s ANA World’s Fair of Money is in Denver, Colorado and it is just a little over a week away. There will be two official auctions for the ANA, hosted by Heritage Auctions and Stack’s Bowers Galleries.

Stack’s Bowers Galleries will feature two well-known rarities that should attract some very intense bidding. The Lord St Oswald-Norweb 1794 Flowing Hair Dollar in PCGS MS64 with the CAC sticker should be the star of this sale.

1855 S $3 MS63 NGC (Finest-Certified) is available at the Heritage Auctions ANA U.S. Coins Signature Auction in Denver, Colorado, August 2-6, 2017

Based on the value of these three coins, they are also the most common by price up through the Mint State grades, until the MS63 & MS64, where the 1874 and 1878 are the two most common dates of the series by value....
