Other highlights:
• The Official Auction by Stack’s Bowers Galleries, which realized more than $15 million.
• The launch of Certified Assets Management International – a joint venture designed to help investors with acquisition and management of numismatic and precious metals. Led by a Wall Street money manager and a veteran professional rare coin dealer, CAMI has been granted approval by the Securities and Exchange Commission and was announced as a part of the Baltimore Expo.
• The public unveiling of the new Whitman.com, the online destination for numismatic and Expo news, as well as books and supplies.
“Whether you measure it by the number of dealers, the attendance from the public, or the amount of fresh coins and business transacted, clearly this was another success for Baltimore and the collecting community,” said Whitman General Manager David Crenshaw said.
