The Larry Rausch Collection of Error Coins To Sell at Heritage's Pittsburgh ANA Auction
Dallas, Texas: An exciting collection of nineteenth and twentieth century error coins will be sold by Heritage Numismatic Auctions in its official ANA Signature Auction taking place in Pittsburgh, August 18-21 at the ANA's World's Fair of Money. Several dozen unusual error coins have been assembled by numismatist Larry Rausch.
"Larry Rausch's collection of error coins," noted Heritage President Greg Rohan, "is especially strong in the popular and desirable Flying Eagle and Indian Head Cent series, and the Buffalo Nickels. Many collectors search for years for such dramatic examples without much success. Specialists in both error coinage and these series will be paying keen attention to these rarities of the coining process. Mr. Rausch has also given us a broad cross-section of denominations from which to choose."
