A Glimpse at 2022 NYINC Auctions

Amadeo I ruled Spain from November of 1870 to February 1873. His gold issues of 25 and 100 pesetas are nearly impossible to find. From the recorded mintage of 25 pieces for the 100 pesetas, there are probably less than eight survivors. This SP-63 example will be offered through Heritage Auctions at the 2022 New York International Convention. (All images courtesy Heritage Auctions.)

For those of you who are planning on attending the New York International Numismatic Convention (NYINC) in January 2022, there are a few things to remember. First off, this is the 50th Annual NYINC; second, they have changed venues to the InterContinental Barclay Hotel on East 48th Street; and third, there are at least 100 dealers expected to set up on the bourse and five major auctions are set to run in the Barclay Salon over seven days during and adjacent to the show dates.

For those flying in for the auctions, remember that NYINC auction lot viewing will begin on Jan. 7. The auction sessions begin on Jan. 10 and run right on up through Jan. 16.
