NUMISMATIC AND COIN COLLECTING NEWS

“Obsolete Paper Money: A Guide with Prices,” by Don Kelly is now available, with its debut at the IPMS greeted with a widely positive reception and brisk sales.

The 1913 Liberty Head 5-cent coin once owned by George O. Walton and his heirs has traded hands in a private transaction for a price between $3 million and $4 million.

The Mickley-Hawn-Queller 1804 Draped Bust dollar sold for $2.64 million at Heritage’s June 14 Long Beach auction, less than the $3.87 million it brought in a 2013 auction.
