Heritage Breaks Internet Currency Bidders Record

Dallas, TX -- Heritage's CurrencyAuction.com sale, which closed Sunday night, April 15, sold 654 lots (80.739%) for a total sell-through of $52,213.45. With 342 bidders participating, 154 were successful.

“342 bidders is a lot for an Internet currency auction,” said Heritage’s co-chairman, Jim Halperin. “In fact, with respect to the number of participants, this was our best currency Internet-only auction to date. But keep watching. We’ll be looking to break this record very soon.”

All Heritage auction results are posted at Heritage’s award winning website, http://www.HeritageCoin.com.

Every single-item lot includes full-color enlargeable images of the obverse and reverse, to help bidders determine their bids with confidence.
