The latest Heritage Auctions Signature Sale was the main attraction at the 58th Houston Money Show this past week. There were numerous high-end rarities that brought some impressive bidding. One of the most sought after coins was the 1852 $50 Gold Assay Office, 900 THOUS, certified as MS64 by PCGS; it also has the CAC sticker. This coin sold for $396,563 and was the top seller of the auction. In addition, the 1870 CC $20 Gold in PCGS AU50 sold for $305,500. Many dealers think this is one of the nicest AU50's of the eight certified by PCGS and NGC.
