Ableauctions Announces Heritage Coin To Broadcast $25 Million Auction Through iCollector FIFE, WASHINGTON - December 10, 2003 - Ableauctions.com Inc. (AMEX:AAC) (the "Company") announced today that Texas based Heritage Galleries & Auctioneers, the largest dealer and auctioneer of collectibles including rare coins, currency, comics, movie posters and illustration art in the world, will broadcast one of their largest coin auctions in history through iCollector starting January 7, 2004. Heritage will hold four separate auctions of US coins, currency and world coins in January 2004 and expects sales to exceed $25,000,000. Amongst the featured items will be the Green Pond Collection, a complete set of the gold coins produced at the Dahlonega Mint. The collection holds dual PCGS Registry leadership as the #1 Current and #1 All-Time Finest Dahlonega Collections. The Green Pond Collection, according to Heritage President Greg Rohan, "is one of the finest complete collections of the gold rarities minted in Dahlonega. Overall, the quality is simply incredible. Many of the coins are the finest known survivors, and virtually every example is Condition Census - and most of those are low on the list. The Green Pond pedigree will be further enhanced by the fact that nearly every rarity is also a plate coin in the second edition of Doug Winter's Gold Coins of the Dahlonega Mint, 1838-1861." The Signature Sale takes place in Orlando January 7-10, 2004 and will be broadcast through the services of iCollector.
