"This is by far our largest and most important auction to date," says Dan Sedwick, a coin expert with over 20 years’ experience and a pioneer in the field of authentic "treasure" collectibles. "We anticipate that the results will exceed the total low estimate of about $1 million."
Sedwick’s assistant Agustín "Augi" García adds "the current economy is poised for investors to put their money into collectibles and hard assets, and buying treasure coins and bullion and artifacts is a fun way to do just that. We feel the timing of our auction could not be better."
For the first time, Sedwick’s auction is accessible through Sixbid, the worldwide online bidding platform. Now bidders can register and submit bids quickly and easily online through Sixbid’s website, sixbid.com
"We still encourage direct contact, however," states Sedwick, who stresses personal service as one of his company’s unique aspects.
As a mail-bid sale (i.e., not live), Sedwick’s Treasure Auction #4 offers bidders more flexibility in terms of "either/or" and "total budget" bids. In Sedwick’s words, "we feel everyone should come away a winner.
Printed catalogs are available by mail for $35 within the US or $50 overseas.
