Group of Rare Edward Sawyer’s Native American Portrait Galvanos Offered by Heritage Auction
The June 14-17 Long Beach Heritage auction of US coins features a number of outstanding collections, but easily the most prominent of these is An Important New York Collection. This collection rates as one of the highest-value gatherings of U.S. type coins we can remember in any recent Long Beach event. Of course, the 1804 dollar is an absolute show-stopper by itself.
