NumisMedia Weekly Market Report

Heritage FUN Sale Begins Year with a Bang

January 20, 2025

Not only did the Heritage Auctions FUN Sale produce five, million-dollar rare coin sales, there were over ninety coins that sold for six figures and up. Despite the coin market having been somewhat tentative, this sale was a good example of how much money can be available for exceptional rarities when they come on the market. With 2025 now in full swing, and the metals on the rise, dealers are optimistic of another bull market on the horizon. Much of this positivity comes with promises from President Trump of a better economy.
The prices realized below represent just a small portion of the FUN Heritage Sale that took place in Dallas last week. The five top selling U.S. coins were the 1894 S Barber Dime in PCGS PR66 CAC at $2,160,000, the 1884 Trade Dollar in PCGS PR65 CAC at $1,140,000, the 1849 C $1Gold with Open Wreath in PCGS MS62 at $1,560,000, the 1798 $5 Gold Small Eagle in PCGS AU55 at $3,000,000, and the 1927 D $20 Gold St Gaudens in PCGS MS65+ CAC at $3,840,000. Please contact Heritage Auctions for all prices realized from this sale.
1884 Trade Dollar certified by PCGS PR65 and CAC

This lovely 1884 Proof Trade Dollar has a pedigree of notable owners including Legend and Jack Lee. The original mintage for this issue was just ten coins, although there is a total of eighteen listed in the population reports, with obvious resubmissions. This 1884 Trade Dollar in PCGS PR65 with CAC approval sold for $1,140,000; it previously sold for just under one million dollars in the 2014 FUN Signature Sale. Our current CAC value is listed at $1,040,000, which will be adjusted upward in the next update. An interesting point in the Heritage description of this lot indicates all ten coins minted are accounted for with the current grades in their roster. While there are four Cameo coins listed, there are no Deep Cameo coins in the roster.

1798 $5 Gold Small Eagle certified by PCGS AU55

Of the original one hundred coins minted for the 1798 $5 Gold Small Eagle, only seven coins are known today and just five are listed in the population reports. This PCGS AU55 is the highest certified to date and it brought $3,000,000, which is nearly two times more than our previous listed value. This is an extremely rare date, and the grade makes it a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a high-end rarity collector. The pedigree for this coin is highlighted by Farouk and Pogue, just to name a few.
