Naftzger large cents realize $3.2 million in Goldberg auction
2/23/2009

All 476 lots sold in the second installation of the Ted Naftzger Collection of U.S. large cents. The coins were offered in a Feb. 1 auction by Ira and Larry Goldberg Coins and Collectibles in Beverly Hills, Calif., in conjunction with specialists Chris McCawley and Bob Grellman.

The 476 lots were featured in one session preceding the Pre-Long Beach Coin, Stamp & Collectibles Expo auction, also conducted by the Goldbergs.

According to the total prices realized, the Naftzger large cents realized $3,241,070.

Most of the cents in the auction bore two grades: one assigned by Professional Coin Grading Service and one by the catalogers. In some cases, the grading opinions differ. Only the PCGS grades are given here.

The third part of the Naftzger Collection will be offered in September 2009.
