Extraordinary rarities from across the range of gold and silver American
coins will be auctioned by Heritage Auction Galleries at their Atlanta ANA
Signature Auction. Held in conjunction with the American Numismatics
Association’s 2006 National Money Show, at the Cobb Galleria Centre in Atlanta,
Georgia, the auction is scheduled for April 6 – 7, 2006.

“Heritage has
the privilege of offering three exceptional gold collections – the Jeffrey
Fisher – Duke’s Creek Collection of Dahlonega Gold, the Lake Highland
Collection, and the Alexander Collection – in Atlanta,” noted Heritage President
Greg Rohan in a press release. “While very different in their focus, each of
them exhibits a dedication to rarity and quality that defines a great numismatic
pursuit. Duke’s Creek has a world-class reputation and exhibits superb pedigrees
on many of the coins.”

Rohan continued by saying that ” While the Lake
Highland and Alexander Collections contain several denominations, their emphasis
on proof gold double eagles – Liberty for Lake Highlands and Saint-Gaudens for
Alexander – presents superb opportunities for the specialists demanding the
highest quality. Additional gold rarities like the Waldo Newcomer discovery
specimen of the extremely rare 1849-C Open Wreath Gold Dollar, graded AU58, are
American classics. We will also be offering another selection of Charlotte gold
from the Carolina Gold Collection.”

The auction promises to be another
in a string of auctions where the big winner is always the collector. For more
