In 1999, Ira and Larry Goldberg were part of a group that purchased the S.S. Central America treasure, valued at 100 million dollars; the largest numismatic purchase of all time. Also in 1999, they set a world record with a $20 gold 1907 Ultra High Relief that sold for $1.1 million; the highest price paid for a gold coin at public auction. The Goldbergs are also known for having privately sold the King of Siam Set for a record-breaking $8.5 million. The King of Siam Set is America's single most important numismatic item and it was the third time the Goldbergs were responsible for its sale - also a record. Personal service, expertise, and an impressive record of sales are the characteristics that define auctions at Goldberg Coins & Collectibles.
