Heritage Auctions’ Orlando FUN currency event realizes $8.4+ Million

DALLAS, TX.- The finest of three known $20 Nevada Red Seal notes, a $20 1902 Red Seal Fr. 641 The Nixon NB Ch. # (P)8424, by far the greatest note to emerge from The Platte River Cash Hoard, brought $66,125 as the top note in Heritage Auctions Jan. 5-10 Signature® Orlando FUN Currency Auction, which realized an impressive $8.4+ million total. All prices include 15% Buyer’s Premium. “The Platte River Hoard is without a doubt a great currency find,” said Allen Mincho, Director of Currency Auctions at Heritage, “and this $20 Red Seal is easily the best of that significant bunch and a reminder that significant rarities are still awaiting discovery even a century after their issue. A mere 14 Red Seals have been reported from all the banks in Nevada combined, and – obviously – collectors put a premium on them.” The Currency section of the FUN auction saw more than 3,340 bidders vying for 3,717 lots &#15
