The on-going Summer FUN show gives importance to collectors and collector coins in all specialities and grades. Heritage’s Premier Session and floor sessions feature varieties that will be of interest to the average collector, interspersed with plenty of notable rarities.

The Michael C. Hollen Collection is the one to watch out for. Some of the main attractions of the collection are grade Lincoln cents and Washington quarters, with glittering examples in both circulation strike and proof formats.

From the lot of cents, includes a Superb Gem 1915, Ex: New Netherlands and Pittman, graded MS67 Red NGC. An equally Superb 1912 cent is Ex: Jack Lee, certified MS67 Red PCGS.

Similarly, the set of Washington Quarters is headlined by many Gem or finer early dates, with attractive surfaces and eye appeal. The cents along with the quarters include high-grade examples of major varieties within each series. The fine collection also includes some amazing high-grade gold pieces in both Summer FUN and the upcoming ANA auction.

At the RMW Collection, silver dollars from the Seated, Trade and Morgan dollar series become the main spotlight. Proofs spearhead, with a fantastic run of Trade and Morgan dollars in proof format plus some key Seated dollar proofs. An 1883 Trade Dollar in PR65 Cameo NGC has lovely peripheral colour. Also, those who like the Seated dollar, must not miss the 1859 PR64 PCGS example, vibrantly toned with mirrors and amazing eye appeal. A 1900 Morgan dollar in PR65 Cameo PCGS is seldom seen with any contrast, yet this Gem example earned the Cameo designation by PCGS.

The Terry Brand Estate showcases the seven 1794 Flowing Hair half dollars in an affordable collector grades, each a better Overton variety, including a very scarce Overton-103.

In numismatic circles, Terry was known as the one-time owner of the King of Siam proof set that included a fabled "original" 1804 dollar. He is famous for accumulating 1844 Seated dimes and 1794 Flowing Hair half dollars.
