"ANA auctions have been eagerly supported by collectors and dealers over the years," said Christopher Cipoletti, ANA Executive Director.

"Over the years, Bowers and Merena -- a Spectrum Numismatics subsidiary of Greg Manning Auctions, Inc.-- has handled hundreds of millions of dollars worth of coins for tens of thousands of consignors, including libraries, historical societies and government agencies, as well as consignments from individuals and estates," Deeds said.
"We will be actively seeking great coins for these auctions, beginning with the Kansas City sale," he said. "We're looking for choice, rare and interesting United States coins in all series, from colonials to silver dollars and double eagles, certified or uncertified. We offer immediate cash payments or advances on auction consignments."
