Museum Caliber John E. Herzog Collection of United States Loan Certificates To be Auction at 2018 World’s Fair of Money

It is not often that a museum caliber collection comes to auction that was formed over five decades by the founder of a museum. John Herzog is well known in the numismatic community, through his charitable pursuits, and on Wall Street as the founder of the Museum of American Finance. Mr. Herzog's career as a stockbroker trading over the counter on the NASDAQ helped establish it as a leading global exchange. Mr. Herzog's passion for financial history and the development of the capital markets in America from under the Buttonwood Tree onward, evolved into his devoted interest in the documents and certificates associated with those events. Often, it was not an item's intrinsic value that was important, but the fabric of economic history it contained.
