Why Consign With us

The Leader in Achieving the Highest Prices at Auction

From 2013 through 2021, we held the world record for the most expensive coin ever sold at auction, a silver dollar that brought more than $10,000,000.  

We have sold every major date, mintmark and type of U.S. coin.​

We hold the record for most valuable numismatic collection ever sold for our series of auctions of the D. Brent Pogue Collection in association with Sotheby’s.
