A 1873-CC Seated Liberty silver dollar may have saved a couple in Parma, Ohio from losing their home. According to WKYC-TV, the couple brought the extremely rare coin to Jim Matiach for an appraisal.
Matiach, President of Coin and Jewelry Buyers of America, had good news.
"We sat down and we were able to negotiate a price and he walked away with enough money to pay off some of his bills and hopefully be able to keep his house," says Matiach.
Dallas, TX. The 1804 Silver Dollar highlighting the amazing collection of silver dollars assembled by David Queller and his family reached $3,737,500 at the Official Auction of the Central States Numismatic Society convention held by Heritage Auction Galleries. Combining the rare coin and currency results, total prices realized currently exceed $42.6 million. After adding proceeds from all Post Auction Buys and Final Session auctions, total prices are expected to exceed $44 million.

The auctions were held in Rosemont, Illinois on April 16-18; Images, descriptions, and prices realized for all lots can be viewed at the Heritage website, HA.com.
Dallas, TX. The catalog for the Official Auction of the Central States Numismatic Society convention, being held in Rosemont, Illinois on April 16-18, is now posted by Heritage Auction Galleries on their HA.com website. Both the Signature and Platinum Night catalogs have been posted, as well as a significant Currency Auction.
“Heritage is presenting incredibly strong coin and currency auctions at Central States,” commented Heritage President Greg Rohan, “and the Queller Family Collection of Silver Dollars, 1794-1935 is the star. Only a very select few numismatists are ever lucky enough to actually own the singularly important 1804 dollar, and David Queller added to that his 1794 $1 (AU58 NGC); 1802 $1 (PR65 Cameo PCGS); 1870-S $1 (XF40 NGC); and 1853 $1 Restrike (PR65 NGC). Considering the quality, completeness, rarities, and pedigrees, it is no wonder that this has been called the greatest silver dollar collection ever assembled.”
