A Collection Worth One Million Dollars to Be Auctioned
DLRC Auctions is delighted to announce its forthcoming sale of the Southern Seated Dollar Collection, which is composed of 31 different specimens of proof Seated dollars, featuring a number of very rare ultra-low mintage coins.
John Feigenbaum, who holds the position of DLRC Auctions President, mentioned that the presented collection represents one of the finest ever assembled. It consists of many different issues with less than 15 known examples. Besides, some of these Proof Seated Dollars are "the finest known - by far," said Mr. Feigenbaum.
"DLRC Auctions is especially proud to be chosen as the seller of this magnificent collection because the consignor is well known to many other auction houses. He chose DLRC Auctions because we have represented him with integrity and diligence for over a decade. His relationship with Win Callender (DLRC Vice President) is especially close which is indicative of the way we do business around here. Whether folks are buying or selling, we put forth our best effort on a daily basis," commented on the event Mr. Feigenbaum.
Later the president of DLRC Auctions added that "DLRC Auctions has not had such a small but powerful collection since the Hoosier Collection, which realized right at $1.1 million in February 2008. The Southern States sale should realize very close to that mark as there are many issues here that collectors have been seeking."
It is worth noting that the collection of rare proof seated dollars is presented for viewing and auctioning from May 23 at www.davidlawrence.com. On June 5, between 8 and 11 PM EST all lots for this particular auction will be closed. The rarities will be offered for viewing at DLRC's presentation.
