Todd Imhof, Executive Vice President and Mark Borckardt, Senior Numismatist & Cataloguer, Heritage Auctions.
Ten years ago the last of the five 1913 nickels was rediscovered after being lost for decades. Mark Borckardt was one of the people who helped to identify the Walton specimen when it came back onto the market.
Now Heritage Auctions has been selected to sell this historic piece of numismatics at the Central States Numismatic Society Convention in 2013.
See and hear what it is like to handle such an important coin from two industry leaders.

Aw, this was an extremely nice post. Taking the time and actual effort to
generate a really good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate a whole lot and never seem to get nearly anything done.
