Live YN Auction to be held online on Sept. 19
For the first time in its history, the American Numismatic Association will be hosting a live, nationwide YN Auction online.
One hundred items will be up for auction, including a gold 1915-B Switzerland 20 Francs. YNs will have the opportunity to place live bids. All 100 lots can be viewed on the ANA’s Pinterest page prior to the start of the auction or in the YN Auction Catalog, which can be downloaded as a PDF.
To participate in the auction, YN's will need to login to the auction software with a Twitter or Facebook account. Detailed instructions for registration are available on the auction page. All participants need to be registered by Sept. 17. YNs are encouraged to submit YN Auction Dollar claims before Monday, Sept. 7, to ensure that auction dollars are received prior to the opening bid.
Sam Gelberd, the ANA’s Numismatic Educator, will be the auctioneer. Gelberd will conduct the auction via streaming video. Participating YNs will then enter their bids using a chat feature connected to the streaming video. Gelberd will call out the bids in real time and render the final decision.
The online YN Auction will replace the September monthly auction that is held at the first of every month. Monthly auctions will resume October 1.
