I have more info on my Aunt's set that will be auctioned by HA as requested.
They will be offered at the Long Beach auction in February.
Lot ID Numbers are 65001 to 65005 and they have been graded and pics are now available.
On behalf of my family, I wish to thank the members of these forums for their invaluable and sage advice.

A question from Mark Feld: Quote:
I wonder why the set is being sold in the Long Beach sale, as opposed to the just-concluded FUN auction, as originally mentioned in the linked thread?

I wonder that also because FUN would have been allot bigger audience than the LB show even though LB is big but not anywhere near the FUN show. Maybe they didn't get them back from PCGS in time or something?
This is a huge find and I don't think I could be more excited if I had found them myself (well maybe a little). I will definitely be watching the auctions even though my hand will not be in the pot of bidders but it will be fun to watch

I am certainly going to watch these auctions, but I certainly hope whoever bids, and eventually wins these coins gets all of them. I would hate to see this beautiful collection split up away from it's original box.

The four coins and box should have been auctioned only as a lot...  |

Thanks bherring1964 for the assist again.
I did not get the set to HA early enough to get graded and make the Tampa show. This does allow HA to exhibit them at their offices prior to Long Beach.
Not sure about the tax situation yet, I leave that to my Aunt's accountant.
If I an swing it, do you think it would be worthwhile for me to attend the auction itself?
Thanks again to all for your help!

I definitely would attend if I were in your shoes. Seems like a once in a lifetime thing to me to witness making that much money in such a short period of time. I bet it would be a lot of fun.

Thanks to CCF for making this possible and I'm happy to assist any way I can. Being relatively new to numismatics, this is the most exciting thing I've seen! It's great you got these to Heritage for auction and PCGS for grading. A trip to Long Beach in February sounds good if you have the time. I plan to bid on your gold dollar and hope to get it. Best of luck! Here's the G$1 for those who haven't seen it. It's in a PCGS MS64+ slab.   |
