Gardner Collection Now Over $47 Million
May 18, 2015
Part III of the Eugene H. Gardner Collection sale is now in the books with this portion realizing $13.78 million. That brings the total of the three sessions to over $47 million, and there is still one auction to come. However, this is not just any coin collection; it is one that was meticulously planned out over a long period of time. The previous sessions included a number of important rarities and this latest sale was no different.
One of the obvious highlights was the 1838 O Reeded Edge Half Dollar from the Eliasberg Collection, certified by NGC as PR64. This coin also has the CAC approval and it realized $646,250.

Platinum is now at $1,174 and common $100 coins are at $1,205.
Ike Dollars showed some advances this past month with the 1971 D now up to $1,200 in MS67. Several of the Proof 70 dates have also been on the rise as buyers have been aggressively pursuing these perfect coins. The 1972 S Silver is higher at $1,850 Market in PR70 and the 1973 S Clad increased to $3,000. The 1976 S Clad TII and the 1978 S Clad also advanced in PR70. These are all very tough coins to acquire and Registry collectors are willing to spend the money when they are available.
