42 of 50 Coins Sold at Heritage Auctions’ 2017 NYINC Sale are NCG Certified

CoinWeek recently reported that 42 of the 50 highest grossing coins purchased at the most recent NYINC sale were certified by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation^® (NGC^®). The results of the sale, held by Heritage Auctions and representing many countries and eras, were further evidence of the accuracy of the NGC’s grading system. The composite gain of all coin sales at the auction totaled around $15.6 million with almost 84% of that profit coming from NGC certified coins.

Some of the highlights of the auction are as follows:

• Japan Meiji 13 (1880) Proof Set- Two coins from this set garnered the highest profits among all coins sold. The Proof Gold 20 Yen, graded atNGC PF 64 Cameo, took $305,500, while the second coin, a Proof Gold 10 Yen with the same grade, took$270,250.
