AUCTION PRESS RELEASE - FINAL
- 1. Kagin’s, Inc. Announces New Kagin’s Auction Division
Kagin’s, Inc. announced that effective immediately, they have reopened it’s almost 80 year old Kagin’s Auction division.
“We are making this commitment in conjunction with being selected as the Official American Numismatic Association
auctioneer at the National Money Show® in Orlando, March 9‐11, 2017”, exclaimed Donald Kagin, Ph.D., President of
Kagin’s, Inc.
Just as we did with our 1977 ANA innovative five‐catalogs‐in‐one box, and with internationally acclaimed artist Peter
Max’s rendition of Lady Liberty on the cover of our iconic 1983 ANA catalog, we intend to elevate this experience
beyond the traditional auction model.”
With this in mind, Nina Ann Phan has been hired as our Auction Director. She will bring her considerable talents and
experience in establishing StacksBowers Hong Kong auctions and being an integral part of the growth at Great
Collections and Roque Galleries.
“I’m thrilled to be leading the Kagin team in this venture,” exclaimed the enthusiastic new Auction Director, Phan.
“Besides offering world class collections researched and described by top numismatic scholars in the areas of Pioneer
Gold, Colonials, U.S. Copper, silver and gold and patterns as well as U.S. Paper Money, we intend to bring to bear our
over eight decades of creative, educational, and outside‐the‐box marketing and promotion. This included such
innovations as partnering with Amazon.com, that brought millions of engaged individuals to read about and purchase
the incomparable Saddle Ridge Treasure Hoard—the largest buried treasure find in North American history,” continued
Kagin.
Additional special features of this auction will include:
‐ 0% Sellers’ fee,* i.e. all commission will be borne by the 17.5% buyer’s fee,
‐ Auction catalogs free to ANA members,
‐ ANA virtual 1‐year memberships to all consignors and buyers,
‐ Your collection won’t be lost among several thousand coins but be featured appropriately including telling your
story.
“You can be sure of one thing, it won’t be like any other coin auction!” Kagin promised.
The auction’s anchor consignment is the Dr. Chris Allan Collection of Bechtler Coinage ‐ the #1 Finest and Most Complete
Bechtler Coinage collection of all time.
“Anyone else wishing to join us in this adventure either through consignment or participation is encouraged to contact
myself or Dr. Kagin personally” stated Phan. “Senior numismatist David McCarthy and currency specialist, Meredith
Hilton, as well as Dr. Kagin are ready to fly anywhere to pick up your treasured collection and value each piece for you,”
she promised.
Space is limited.
*$50,000 minimum consignment; $2,500 lot minimum
