Legend Rare Coin Auctions Closes 2015 with Strong Showing in Vegas

Legend Rare Coin Auctions Regency XV

Legend Rare Coin Auctions finished the year with another strong sale. The Regency Auction XV, which was headlined by a number of exciting early Bust coins, a run of terrific gold pieces and several dozen beautifully-toned Morgan Dollars, saw collectors and internet bidders in general come out in full force. At 477 lots, the sale was one of the largest in the auction house’s three-and-a-half year history, and record internet bidding drove up prices across the board.

Julie Abrams, Legend Rare Coin Auctions president, was “ecstatic with all aspects of the sale. This was by far our most diverse and one of the largest sales since the foundation of the auction house. The response from our bidders reflected that. With hundreds of registrants, many of which were first time bidders, and record numbers of unique bidders, lot views, unique bidders, and active internet bids, The Regency Auction XV looks to usher in 2016 on a high note!”

The sale’s final total was US$2,626,632.60 with buyer’s premium, and a few of the highlights include:

Legend Rare Coin Auctions founder and partner Laura Sperber “was thrilled that our auction attracted the most registered bidders and the highest usage of our live bidding feature to date, especially during a choppy market. In addition, at least 90% of the sale was purchased by collectors. The results were far better than expected and on behalf of the entire staff, we would like to thank everyone who participated in making this sale a success.”
