SOUTHAMPTON, Pa. – Coins may very well be the ultimate collectible. “They’re small and portable, they have both intrinsic and face value, and they have a long history of positive growth as an investment,” says Cindy Stephenson, owner of Stephenson’s Auctions in suburban Philadelphia.
“Any time we are called upon to visit a residence and evaluate an estate’s contents, we ask if there might be any jewelry or coins. Invariably, there are coins that have been hidden away – sometimes in a safe, but sometimes in less likely places, like a box in a closet or a jar in a kitchen cupboard – and often these items end up being among the estate’s most valuable holdings,” said Stephenson, who will conduct an auction of gold and silver coins on Friday, April 3. There will be no gallery bidding, but absentee and live online bidding will be available through LiveAuctioneers.
