by Ian J Russell on Thursday, July 03, 2008 Teletrade, America's largest fully automated Internet auction company for certified coins and currency, has officially launched “Teletrade Gold Rewards,” a frequent buyer program that rewards customer loyalty for buying coins and currency in Teletrade online auctions. The program kicked off on July 1, 2008, and is open to all Teletrade registered bidders at no additional cost to participate. “To the best of our knowledge, this is the very first comprehensive rewards program for coin and currency buyers,” said Ian Russell, president of Teletrade. “We have thousands of loyal Teletrade customers who bid and buy with us in auction after auction and we wanted to create a program that thanks them for choosing Teletrade when they purchase their certified coins and currency. This program rewards them for making regular auction purchases with Teletrade, something they were doing anyway, and offers a fun and lucrative opportunity to get something back in return. Best yet, they get to make their own personal choices in the ways they are rewarded.” The Teletrade Gold Rewards Program is open to all Teletrade registered bidders, which currently number more than 165,000 members. Present registered bidders have been automatically enrolled in the program, and new bidders are welcome to register at any time and will be automatically enrolled in the program, as well. There is no cost to participate in the program but auction purchases are required to earn Gold Rewards points. Program participants will earn Gold Rewards Points with every Teletrade Auction purchase they make beginning July 1, 2008, which can be redeemed for their choice of exciting Teletrade perks and gifts, like gold and silver coins, discounts on auction purchases, free shipping, popular numismatic books, and many more exclusive Teletrade products and services. Complete details on the Teletrade Gold Rewards Program are available at www.teletrade.com/rewards or by calling Teletrade customer service at 800.949.2646.

Teletrade Auction 2549, consisting of just more than 200 exclusive certified coin lots, realized an outstanding $1,050,000, bringing Teletrade’s June auction total to more than $4.75 million, a record high month for Teletrade prices realized! This special Friday auction featured an amazing selection of certified coins highlighted by another original hoard of PCGS Green Holders, including many Wells Fargo $20 pieces, auctioned alongside a variety of other extraordinary U.S. rarities certified by PCGS and NGC. From this special selection, five exceptional coins realized in excess of $100,000 each: Lot 1068, $2.5 Gold 1796 Stars NGC AU-50 - $100,800 Lot 1084, $4 Gold Stella 1879 Proof Flowing Hair PCGS PR-62 - $128,800 Lot 1099, $10 Gold 1795 13 Leaves NGC MS-61 - $112,000 Lot 1100, $10 Gold 1801 NGC MS-64 - $123,200 Lot 1121, $20 Gold 1895 Proof NGC PR-65 Ultra Cam - $117,600 “This is simply unprecedented for Teletrade,” said president Ian Russell, “two million-dollar sales in the same month, and an overall record month for the entire 22-year history of the company. It is truly a testament to the direction of online auctions for Teletrade and for the industry as a whole, and I am thrilled to see Teletrade leading the way. Over $4.75 million in online coin and currency sales in a single month is just incredible.” Russell attributes the success of the recent Friday auction to the exceptional selection of certified coins that were consigned, especially on the heels of the other million-dollar Teletrade auction on June 1, 2008. Auction 2536 was Teletrade’s highest grossing online auction of certified coins in the company’s 22-year history, which realized $1,124,253 and featured “The Green Holder Collection,” more than 250 coins in classic PCGS early generation holders that achieved 100 percent sell-through. Additionally, Teletrade made a concerted effort to bring these impressive coins to the biggest buyers in the industry, including a five-state lot viewing trip spearheaded by Russell himself, along with lot viewing at the Summer FUN 2008 Convention in Palm Beach in the days prior to the auction. “These coins created their own buzz early on, and bringing them directly to the major buyers and enthusiasts was key to the overwhelming success of this auction.” Russell added.

by Ian J Russell on Monday, May 12, 2008 Teletrade, America's largest fully automated Internet auction company for certified coins and currency, will auction “The Green Holder Collection” on Sunday, June 1, 2008, in online Auction #2536. The auction will be live at www.teletrade.com from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. eastern time and will include more than 1,500 certified coin lots. The complete catalog will be viewable on the Teletrade website beginning Friday, May 23. Highlights from “The Green Holder Collection” will be on display at the Long Beach Expo May 29-31 at table 425. “The Green Holder Collection” is the result of the combined efforts of two California collectors and consists of more than 250 coins in classic PCGS “green holders,” including an interesting selection of first generation “rattlers.” These early generation PCGS holders characterized by their green labels were used throughout the 80s and 90s, dating back to the very first days of PCGS, and are coveted by a large segment of numismatic enthusiasts who appreciate the history of not only the coin but also the holder that encases it. “It is unusual to see such an impressive hoard of early generation PCGS holders, and many have not been on the market since they were initially acquired by these collectors in the 80s and 90s,” said Ian Russell, president of Teletrade. “The coins tell the history of the country, and these holders speak to the history of coin collecting, which makes this collection even more fascinating and desirable to enthusiasts.” “The Green Holder Collection” will be auctioned in individual lots. Highlights include: 1804 1/2c PCGS MS-65RB 1881 Cent PCGS MS-67RD 1856 Flying Eagle Cent PCGS MS-63 1909-SVDB Lincoln Cent PCGS MS-65RB 1910 Nickel PCGS MS-67 1927-D Nickel PCGS MS-65 1876 Twenty-Cent PCGS MS-66 1861 Half Dollar PCGS MS-66 1877 Half Dollar PCGS MS-66 1878-S Trade Dollar PCGS MS-65 1886 Seated Half Dollar PCGS MS-66 1922 Grant with Star One Dollar Gold PCGS MS-67
