People who are new to collecting coins might not know about the collection that was sold at auction for the most money. It beat a Guinness World Record in this case.
The first sale happened in 1982, which is more than 40 years ago. A lot of people who are new to collecting coins might not know about this important event in the field of numismatics.
How much was the most expensive coin collection worth at auctions?
In accordance with the Guinness World Records website, it was sold for US$44,900,000. Because of this, it was the most expensive collection of coins ever sold at auction.
That’s right, it had to be sold three times. In 1982, the first auction took place. The second one took place in 1996, 14 years apart. After the second sale, there was one last one in 1997, a year later.
The Eliasberg Collection was the name of this wonderful group of things. They were sold at Bowers and Merena Galleries in New Hampshire, USA.
Background of the Eliasberg Collection of Coins
A dream that many owners and fans of coins may have, but not many can come true. Louis E. Eliasberg Senior, who was born in 1896 and died in 1976, started a collection that had one of every major type of US coin.
If you don’t know much about Louis E. Eliasberg Sr., he was a successful banker and business man in Baltimore. Based on his past, you may have guessed that he was successful.
This feat had never been done before. These coins ranged from the 1793 half-eagle to the 1933 double eagle. Keep in mind that new world records may be set every day, so if there is a new event, the list may not be changed, and the collection may cost more.
