Press Release - December 15, 2000

Heritage's First $200,000+ Exclusively Internet? Auction

Dallas, Texas: Heritage's weekly Exclusively Internet? auction closed December 12 with $223,908 in sell-through. Conducted from December 5-12, this was the first Heritage Exclusively Internet? sale to break the $200,000 barrier. Over 600 lots found new homes with 256 successful bidders (out of 437 bidders participating).

Heritage attributes the success of this sale a number of factors, but according to Heritage Co-Chairman James Halperin the three most important are:

  1. An increase in fresh consignments as a result of overflow from Heritage's massive $8+ million FUN auction coming up in January, and
  2. Heritage's new policy of offering its freshest inventory to Website and Exclusively Internet? customers before they are offered on other venues.
  3. Our exclusive My WantList? web program sends automatic e-mails when a coin matches our customers' "want", making it easier than ever to complete a collection without endless searching.
Heritage's weekly Exclusively Internet? begin every Wednesday and close every Tuesday evening at 10 PM CT, at Heritage's award winning website HeritageCoins.com. Every single-coin lot includes full-color enlargeable images of the obverse and reverse, latest population and third-party pricing data, and comparable auction records to help bidders determine their bids with confidence. HeritageCoin members who sign up with My Wantlist? online are automatically notified whenever specific coins they need are posted for bidding.
