Jeff Garrett: An Inside Look Into a Numismatic Career
Greg Rohan is President — and one of the owners — of Heritage Auctions, the largest collectibles and rare coin auctioneer, and third-largest auction house, in the world. A few weeks ago, Heritage sold a staggering $90 million worth of coins at auction in their Dallas headquarters with just three live bidders in attendance. The world of rare coin auctions — and numismatics in general — has changed a lot in the last few years, so I asked Greg to share some of this inside knowledge about these changes and perhaps make a few predictions. Greg, how did you get started in numismatics and when did you become a dealer? I have heard Jefferson Nickels were your first passion.
